[Verse 1]
Dm
She walked in the park in the dark
Dm
Her best friend was her own heartbeat
Dm
With every little step she'd take
Dm
She'd get one step closer to leeeaavin'

[Verse 2]
Dm
Sittin' in kitchen at night
Dm
She listened to the washing machine
Dm
Wishing that she could leeeaave
Dm
But there were so many loads to clean

[Chorus]
          G
She could hear it in her head sometimes

Like the change she'd been savin' in a jar
        Dm
And the chains on the front porch swing

Were creakin' like steps in the dark

[Refrain]
A
One day soon

This is all gonna end
G            N.C.
One day soon...
N.C.            Dm
Maybe it'll all begin

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Dm
She'd hear it from him all the time
Dm
He was the best she'd ever seen
Dm
Stompin' up and down the hall
Dm
But she could still hear her washing machine

[Chorus]
G
She could hear it in her head sometimes

Like the change she's been savin' in a jar
        Dm
And the chains on the front porch swing

Were creakin' like steps in the dark

[Refrain]
A
One day soon

This is all gonna end
G            N.C.
One day soon...
N.C.            Dm
Maybe it'll all begin

[Outro]
A
What a fine mess

Fine mess indeed
    G
A little too much for me
                      Dm
For me and my washing machine
