[Verse]
Dm Em C
You can wash out your lying eyes
Dm Em C
in the bathroom down the hall.
Dm Em C
I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
Dm Em C
I guess I didn't know you at all.
Bm F#m
I can picture you inside some stranger's house,
F#m
inside some stranger's bed --
A
you're trying to seem mysterious,
E
the covers pulled over your head.
A7 D
It's all right, lady liberty,
G D
it's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me.
Dm Em C
You say you've been used, you've been betrayed
Dm Em C
Yeah, and that old bed's been newly made
Dm Em C
You just stick around awhile with me
Dm Em C
Until you're strong enough to leave
Bm
Because I can picture you the first time
F#m
You decide to spend the night
A
You wonder if you should give me a call
E
And ask me if it's alright
A7 D
Yeah, it's alright, lady liberty
G D
It's just too bad you couldn't do the same for me
Am Em Dm
Don't call me or send me any more letters, baby.
Am Em
I just can't stand to see your hand
Am
writing things that you don't mean.
Am Em Dm
I waited, our faded love growing even more faded.
Am Em
The shades were down, I faced the wall,
Em
and I could hear you breathing.
Dm Em C
I tried to bring us back to life
Dm Em C
I gave my heart so many times
Dm Em C
And was it worth it after all?
Dm Em C
There is a bathroom down the hall
[Outro]
Dm Em C
There is a bathroom down the hall
Dm Em C
There is a bathroom down the hall
Dm Em C
And I guess I didn't know you at all
Dm Em C
I guess I didn't know you at all
Em
Lady liberty, liberty, liberty
Dm
Maybe it's time to leave
