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
