[Verse 1]
D                                           D
I walked through the front door, turned the light on in the hall
D                                           D
  and then I saw the post-it notes that she had stuck up on the wall.
    G                          A                           D          D
The first one said "I love you   but I can't live on love alone."

[Verse 2]
D                               D
  The yellow post-it-notes were stuck up everywhere,
D                            D
one was on the microwave and one on the Frigidaire.
G                                G                                        D     D
  It said "I cried all night but you weren't there to watch the teardrops fall
       A                                  G                A              D     D
and if you couldn't get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall".

[Chorus]
G                                     G                      D    D/A    D
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do   if ya do anything at all.
A                                          A                                D
Sometimes it takes a freight train comin', sometimes it takes a mountian to fall.
G                                      G                                     D     D/A     D
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do,   sometimes you gotta walk before you crawl
       A                                   A                               D        D
and if you couldn't get the picture, maybe you can read the writing on the wall.

[Verse 3]
    D                                    D
The post-it note on the pillow said "The lonely nights were hell",
D                                 D
  the one the mirror said "Take a    good luck at yourself".
        G                                   G                                  D   D/A   D
And the one she put on the closet door said   "I waited long enough for you to call
       A                                  G                A              D     D
and if you couldn't get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall".

[Chorus
G                                     G                      D     D/A     A
Sometimes you do what you've gotta do   if ya do anything at all
       A                                  A                               D     D/A     D
and if you couldn't get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the wall.
       A                                  A
And if you couldn't get the picture maybe you can read the writing on the [Outro] wall.
