Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I[Em][G][Cm][G]
met a
new me at 8 am
The other one got lost
This was not a trade in
Al[C]though I wouldn't believe [Cm]the cost
I woke up [G]crying as we said good[Em]bye
[Am]Me an my old self
Each day he vanished more and more
[D]As I became someone [G]else

[Verse 2]
He actually was [G]murdered I
had taken him apart
But when I put him back together
I [C]couldn't find his heart
It was [Cm]resting underneath a chair
In a [G]bed of bright tin [Em]foil
If I pulled [Am]back the flaps
I could still see it beat
I could [D]still hear his voice uncoil

[Verse 3]
As I [G]said :
I want a trade in
A 14th chance at this [C]life[Cm]
I've met a woman with a
thousand [G]faces[Em][Am]

[Verse 4]
And I want to make her my wife
[D]How[G] could I have been so mistaken
How could I think that it was true
A child that is raised by an idiot
And that [C]idiot then becomes [G]you
How could I believe in a movie
How could I believe in a book
But most of all how could I listen to you
[C]Such an obvious schmuck
A [Cm]life spent listening to assholes
[G]It's funny but it's tru[Em]e
So get [Am]rid of them I said to myself
But first [D]I'm getting rid of [G]you

[Verse 5]
I want [G]a trade in
A 14th chance at [C]this [Cm]life
I've met a woman with a thou
[G]sand [Em]faces[C]
And I want to make her my wife
[D]

[Verse 6]
[G]
Take me over to the window
My heart said to my head
[Gsus4]Please set me on[G] fine
So [C]we can start again
I was [Cm]so wrong that it's funny
[G]And I can[Em]'t apologize but in
[Am]stead,
You can be everything that I'm not
The [D]second that I [G]die

[Verse 7]
I want a [G]trade in
The second chance [C]at this life
[Cm]I've met a woman with a
thousand [G]faces[Em][Am]

[Outro 1]
And I want to make her my wife
[D][G][C][G]
[Cm][C][G]
[C][Cm][G]
[C][Cm]
[G][C][G][Cm][G]
[C][Cm]
[G][C][Cm]
