Capo 4th fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
C Am
I etched the face of a stopwatch
E
On the back of a raindrop
F
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.
C Am
I heard an unhappy ending,
E
It sort of sounds like youre leaving,
F
I heard the piledriver waltz,
C
It woke me up this mor-ning.
[Interlude]
C
[Chorus]
(Strumming Change)
N.C. F Dm Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
E F
And sat in the back booth by the,
Dm Am E
Pamphlets and the litera-ture on how to lose
F G C Am
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
F G
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
[Interlude]
(Change of strumming back to verse)
C
[Verse 2]
C Am
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer,
E F
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes.
C Am
I heard the news that you were planning,
E
To shoot me out of a cannon.
F
I heard the piledriver waltz,
C
It woke me up this morning.
[Chorus]
(Strumming Change)
N.C. F Dm Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
E F
And sat in the back booth by the,
Dm Am E
Pamphlets and the litera-ture on how to lose
F G C Am
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
F G
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
[Ending]
C Am E F
Oh,Piledriver
