[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
