Gm        Eb         F
Your accountant called this morning
 Cm         Gm       Ab      Gm
There was springtime in his heart
 D7    Gm        Eb  F
He couldn't wait to tell me
 Cm      Gm         Eb  Ab/Eb C Fm
How he'd pulled our lives apa - art
                          Bb6
And the letter from your lawyer
                      Cm
Lies unopened on the tray
      Ab6            Bb6               Eb
I may get around to reading it later today

[Verse 2]
         Gm        Eb    F
Walking round the lonely rooms
 Cm    Gm  Ab         Gm
I see everything the same
 D7  Gm      Eb F
But suddenly it matters
 Cm       Bb6     Eb/Db   Ab/Eb C Fm
What was purchased in my na  -  me
                          Bb6
Whether this or that was paid for
                 Cm
Belongs to me or you
                     Ab6          Bb6       Eb
Can the seven years together be divided by two

[Chorus]
                           Abmaj7
It says something for the legal boys
                    Ab6
But nothing much for us
                 Cm/G
That all we had together
                     G7
Is so quickly ended thus
                   Abmaj7
The legal boys have won again
                    Ab6
And you and I have lost
                           Cm/G
They can't tell us how it happened
                             Ab
But they'll let us know the cost
                            Bb6      Eb
Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah

[Verse 2]
           Gm      Eb      F
There's a lot I'd like to tell you
 Cm    Gm        Ab        Gm
But I can't get past your guards
   Gm          Eb    F
I don't speak their language
 Cm       Bb6         Ab/Eb C Fm
And they hold all the ca - rds
                         Bb6
I would rather call you darling
                       Cm
Than defendant in the case
            Ab6        Bb6
But lovers left here long ago
                        Eb
And clients took their place

[Chorus]
                           Abmaj7
It says something for the legal boys
                    Ab6
But nothing much for us
                 Cm/G
That all we had together
                     G7
Is so quickly ended thus
                   Abmaj7
The legal boys have won again
                    Ab6
And you and I have lost
                           Cm/G
They can't tell us how it happened
                             Ab
But they'll let us know the cost
                            Bb6      Eb
Oh they'll let us know the cost, oh yeah
