[Intro]

Bb Ab Gb Eb

[Verse]

Bb                               Gm               C7/G

Laura calls me in the middle of the night

C7              Ebm7

Passes on her     painful information

Bb                            Bb/A                   Gm             C7/G

Then these careless fingers, they get caught in her vice

C7                               F#7

Til they're bleeding on my coffee table

[Chorus]

B7                        F7                    Gm

Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

B7                        F7                     Gm

I'm on her side, why does she push the poison on me?

F#7          B*    Bb

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

(*First chorus only)

[Verse]

Bb          Gm               C7/G

Laura has a very hard time

C7                    Ebm7

All her life has been one long disaster

Bb                    Bb/A                           Gm             C7/G

Then she tells me she suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign

C7               F#7

She'll be taking some aggressive action

[Chorus]

B7                          F7                        Gm

I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

B7                       F7                    Gm

Failure to break was the only mistake that she made

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

[Bridge]

Db                               Eb7

Here I am feeling like a fucking fool

Ebdim/A                Ab                 Db

Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?

Db                            Db /F                      Eb7

Every time I think I'm off the hook she makes me lose my cool

                  Ebdim/A                Ab

I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys

                    Ebdim/A                F

And she can push any button I was programmed through

[Verse]

Bb                  Gm                    C7/G

Laura calls me when she needs a good fix

C7                         Ebm7

All her questions will get sympathetic answers

Bb             Bb/A         Gm                C7/G

I should be so immunized to all of her tricks

C7                    F#7

She's surviving on her second chances

[Chorus]

B7                         F7                   Gm

Sometimes I feel like this Godfather deal is all wrong

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

B7                  F7                     Gm

How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

[Instrumental]

Db Eb7 Edim/A  Ab  Db

[Bridge]

Db                                                   Eb7

I've done everything I can what else am I supposed to do

        Ebdim/A             Ab

I'm her machine and she can punch all the keys

                    Ebdim/A                  F

And she can push any button I was programmed through

[Verse]

Bb                  Gm               C7/G

Laura loves me even if I don't care

C7                          Ebm7

That's my problem that's her sacred absolution

Bb            Bb/A                        Gm     C7/G

If she had to she would put herself in my chair

C7                 F#7

Even though I faced electrocution

[Chorus]

B7                      F7                         Gm

She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had

F#7

Oh whoa whoa

B7                    F7                        Gm

How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?

F#7          B    Bb

Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa

[Outro]

Bb Ab Gb Eb
