Former Owner Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]So[Am][G][Am][C]
[G]who was [Am]first?
Obvi[C]ously not [Am]me.
She's locked up inside herself
And I can't get anything free
So won't somebody [C]tell [Am]me please
Why the [D]former owner al
[Dsus4]ways keeps the keys.
[C]There's no bubbles

[Verse 2]
[Am]to burst
[C]No bursting out crying nor
dy[Am]ing of thirst
She's utterly tied [C]to some[Am] body else
And it seems he got there first.
[G]And no, I'm not un[Am]tying
The re[G]ins around her neck that [Am]she feels
And [C]I won't [G]try to prise out
of [Am]her the truth anymore
[C]When she[G] lies about
the things [Am]that she sees
Be[C]cause [D]the former owner al[C]ways [Dsus4]keeps the key[C]s.

[Em][Bm][G][D][Dsus4][D]
[G][Am]
[C]There's

[Verse 3]
[G]no calling[C]
[G]"come here,
you're necessary to [C]me."
There's [G]no excitement in
her face when I im[C]plore
[G]"corrupt me and confess to
me [C]some more."
And when we [G]hear trees falling
[Am]or see people disappearing
[C]Her emo[G]tions won't be
reached [Am]or released,
Be[C]cause [D]the former own[Dsus4]er
is [D]keeping [Dsus4]the keys

[Verse 4]
Like a tick[C]et inspector
[Am]running for a bus
[C]Irony's revenge [Am]surrounds us.
And it's ironic [G]that he prom[Am]ised
you he'd never let you go
When he's left you used-up
[G]and and dis[Am]turbed
And [G]I said "just as the early
bird [Am]catches the worm
[C]The [G]early cat catches the [Am]bird"[C]
But that [D]former owner is [Dsus4]keeping his word
