[Intro]
D (x8)
[Strophe]
D                                Bm 
I etched the face of a stopwatch 
                          F# 
On the back of a raindrop 
                                 G 
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass. 
D                            Bm 
I heard the nun happy ending 
                                       F# 
It sort of sounds like you’re leaving 
                            G 
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
[Instrumentale]
D (x4)
[Refrain]
                      G                        Em           Bm 
You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
                              G                Em       Bm 
Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. 
     G           A             D          F# 
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food. 
                G                                             A   A7 
If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
[Strophe]
D                        Bm 
Mysteries flashing amber 
                                 F# 
Go green when you answer but the red 
                               G 
On the rest of the questionnaire never changes. 
D                                   Bm 
I heard the news that you’re trying 
                              F# 
To shoot me out of a cannon. 
                            G 
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
[Instrumentale]

[Refrain]
                     G                       Em          Bm 
You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
                              G                Em        Bm 
Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. 
     G           A             D          F# 
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
                G                                         A      A7  
If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.     Oooh...
