Intro 
Am 

verse 1 
Am 
I want to cut off all my hair 
F 
And go out walkin' in the cold 
Dm 
Carve myself a new hole 
E 
And talk just like before 
Am 
I want to starve myself of blankets 
F 
And sleep here on the floor 
Dm                                      Am 
Oh god don't let this be love 

verse 2 
Am 
Stop calling me your lover 
F 
We'll stop talking on the phone 
Dm 
'Cause such a pretty voice 
E 
Just makes me miss the dial tone 
Am 
So I'm gonna rip out my own heart 
F 
Who so clearly has betrayed 
Dm 
My quest for being lonely and my 
E                                Am 
Promise of the same 

verse 3 
Am 
Well if I had a choice 
F 
And I'm only partly sure I do 
Dm 
I'd gather all my things and I'd 
E 
Leave town and I'd leave you 
Am 
Take up a residence just off the coast and 
F 
Drown a year or two 
Dm                                   Am 
Oh god don't let this be love 

verse 4 
Am 
And if winter fell upon you 
F 
Well I'd be outside in the snow 
Dm 
Not thinkin' about your red hat 
E 
No not missin' you at all 
Am 
I'd light up a new bad habit 
F 
Start talking in the night 
Dm 
If I ever thought of you I'd say 
E                                      Am 
Well I still think I was right 

Verse 5 
Am 
Well the bird at my new window 
F 
Soon be outside my new door 
Dm 
Askin' me for flowers 
E 
And of what had come before 
Am 
And I'd do my best to tell her 
F 
I ain't never been in love 
Dm                             Am 
But god I ain't so sure 

Verse 6 
Am 
So I took to writing postcards 
F 
Send greetings from the coast 
Dm 
It's a shame I lost your address 
E 
'Cause I'm sure by now you've moved 
Am 
So I'll never get the chance to see 
F 
Your new home up in flames 
Dm 
Well if I had a match then you'd be 
E                                 Am 
Certain that would change
