{Chords: Am - C / Dm - G7 - C - Em}

Your smile is my death my dear
My heart is too weak for you I fear
I only loved you as a dream
Where I knew it couldn’t cost me anything

Now I’m standin here
Alone in a phone booth
Sick with all the love you’ve given me
If I could endure
Just a little bit more
I’d finally be the man you need

Gotta get back to washin dishes
Gotta get back to sweepin floors
Gotta get back to paintin houses
Fill my hours up with chores

But for now I’m useless
That you’ve entered my life
If you walked right out again
I’d hardly even put up a fight
I’d go back to basics
And finally say goodnight

Ain’t got no money left
To call you now anyhow
And frankly
I ain’t got the spine either

If I heard your voice
I’d cry out loud
That’s not how I want this to be
And while I’m thankful
For all you’ve given me
Looks like it’s gettin on time to leave

Your smile is my death my dear
My heart is too weak for you I fear
I only loved you as a dream
Where I knew it couldn’t cost me anything
