She was once [D]mine, that smile that [G]shines
from the glossy m[D]agazine that's stuck inside the Sunday [G]Times.
She was s[D]o sweet on Christmas [G]Eve,
with the snow set [D]deep, when we went walking through the [G]pines.
I had just been [Em]fired and her first offer had ar[G]rived,
and the New Year would see her [D]flying far away from me,
[A]though I didn't know it at the [D]time.

[D] [G] [G/F#] [comment=x2]
 
With outstretched [D]hands, now she c[G]ommands
A famous [D]figure for every p[A]icture.
And she [D]stands up strong, and she de[G]mands
And they de[D]liver. Yeah, she's a [A]fixture.

And it's a [Em]mixture of dumb jealousy and [G]fear
that I might feel should she [D]appear, just like it hasn't been three [A]years
And there's a [Em]distance to her voice over the [G]phone,
and that's because she stands a[D]lone, while I'm still sitting [A]here

Girl, you see me h[Em]ere, on another quiet [Bm]night,
I will wait until a[D]nother indistinguishable [A]day arrives
out[Em]side, where the light's even and [Bm]bright,
where my life's sweet as it's [D](slightly disappointingly), just [A]gliding softly [Em]by

Girl, you won't [Bm]wait for me--in some secluded [D]stand of trees,
on some Christmas Eve some [A]god was kind enough to set a[Em]side--
although I'd [Bm]love you to. But I'm proud of you.

God [D]knows I'm feeling really stupid [A]now for ever having said good[D]bye.

During the [D]fight I said, "yeah [G]right," [G/F#]
when you in[D]sisted that I'd visit, that you'd [G]write.
Now, I [G/F#]know you're working [D]hard so I never hear from you and th[G]at's fi[G/F#]ne.
You look the [D]same on TV as when you were [G]mine. [G/F#]

I [Em]walk in from the k[Bm]itchen and I f[D]inger the re[A]mote control.
I [Em]watch you from the [Bm]distance; you go [D]walking through the [A]terminal
I re[Em]member ever in[Bm]stance when you [D]stunned me. You're so l[A]ovely.
You're so [Em]smart.
 
So, go turn their h[G]eads, go knock them d[A]ead, go break their [D]hearts.

[D] [G] [G/F#] [comment=(repeat)]

Go break their hearts 
Baby, break their hearts 
And I know you will
