The Damn Quails


Tom: G

 G                        Cadd9           G
Well the frost on my window still spells out your name
      G                      D          Cadd9
And a foggy reminder on each sad little pane
            G                        Cadd9         G
And all the mugs in the kitchen that I ain't broke yet
    G                                 D              Cadd9
You drank from each morning while you smoked cigarettes


[Verse 2]
            G                          Cadd9      G
And there's clothes in the closet that got left behind
       G                      D         Cadd9
With a note that you cried on dated and signed
            G                            Cadd9      G
Said by the time you read this one, I'll be Phoenix bound
          G                         D         Cadd9  D
Don't you bother my mama, don't you follow me down


[Chorus]
          Cadd9                       G
Cause you called down the thunder and only got rain
      D                            Cadd9       G
And a head full of high hopes that drove you insane
        Cadd9                         Em
All the folks in this city, there's just two to blame
         D                         Cadd9       G
Just the man in the mirror and the girl on the plane


[Verse 3]
            G                          Cadd9      G
That box of wine in the cabinet it's probably gone bad
       G                      D         Cadd9
But I know that you'll want some if you ever come back
    G                            Cadd9      G
When the cuckoo went hungry, so he flew out the door
     G                         D         Cadd9  D
That damn clock don't tell no one nothing no more


[Chorus]
          Cadd9                       G
Cause you called down the thunder and only got rain
      D                            Cadd9       G
And a head full of high hopes that drove you insane
        Cadd9                         Em
All the folks in this city, there's just two to blame
         D                         Cadd9       G
Just the man in the mirror and the girl on the plane


[Outro] 
  G                        Cadd9           G
Now the driveway's as empty as the bottle in hand
     G                      D          Cadd9
But who says each teardrop can't make a man
