Intro: Dm Am Dm Am Dm Bb
F Am
F C
The footsteps in the stairs
Bb F
They just ruined my peace
C Am
With a layman's sense of style
Dm
He arrived
F C
And I never liked
Bb F
The cloak-and-dagger approach to love
C Am
But with that, one day at a time
Dm
I get by
F Bb
All the strain of being with him
C Am
I may appear insane
Am Bb F C
Someone in constant search for pain
F Bb
But seen against a backdrop
C Am
A fabric not that thin
Bb F
It's all good, I could've been
Dm Am
Forgetting the name of my lover
Dm Am
Moving right on to another
Dm Bb F Am
Going on like this my whole life through
Dm Am
I'm so glad it's over
Dm Am
That I'm here with my three-leaf clover
Dm Bb F Am
No longer out for someone new
But I, I never really saw the pieces fall into place
But I'm sure I saw them try
Yes they tried
And I never really saw the pieces fall into place
But I'm sure I saw them try
Yes they tried
All the strain of being with him
I may appear insane
Someone in constant search for pain
But seen against a backdrop
A fabric not that thin
It's all good I could have been
Breaking the bones of a lover
Moving right on to another
Going on like that my whole life through
I'm so glad it's over
That I'm here with my three-leaf clover
No longer after someone new
And that's why I've come to this secret understanding with myself
Not another one
Not another one
No longer out for another one
No longer after someone new
