Intro: Bb Ab Gb Eb
Verse:
Laura calls me in the middle of the night[C7/G]
Passes on her painful information
Then these careless fingers, t[Bb/A]hey get caught in her vice[C7/G]
Til they're bleeding on my coffee table
Chorus:
Living alone isn't all that it's cracked up to be
Oh whoa whoa
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:
Laura has a very hard time[C7/G]
All her life has been one long disaster
Then she tells me she [Bb/A]suddenly believes she's seen a very good sign[C7/G]
She'll be taking some aggressive action
Chorus:
I fight her wars while she's slamming her doors in my face
Oh whoa whoa
Failure to break was the only mistake that she made
Oh whoa whoa
Bridge:
Here I am feeling like a fking fool
[Ebdim/A]Do I react the way exactly she intends me to?
Every time I think I'm off the ho[/F]ok she makes me lose my cool
I'm her machine an[Ebdim/A]d she can punch all the keys
And she can push any[Ebdim/A] button I was programmed through
Verse:
Laura calls me when she needs a good fix[C7/G]
All her questions will get sympathetic
Answers I should [Bb/A]be so immunized to all of her tricks[C7/G]
She's surviving on her second chances
Chorus:
Sometimes I feel like this Godfather deal is all wrong
How can she hold an umbilical chord for so long?
Instrumental Break
[Edim/A]
Bridge:
I've done everything I can what else am I supposed to do
I'm her machine and [Ebdim/A]she can punch all the keys
And she can push any [Ebdim/A]button I was programmed through
Verse:
Laura loves me even if I don't care[C7/G]
That's my problem that's her sacred absolution
Bb/A Gm C7/g
If she had to she would put herself in my chair
Even though I faced electrocution
Chorus:
She always says I'm the best friend that she's ever had
How do you hang up on someone who needs you that bad?
Outro: Bb Ab Gb Eb
