G-Bm-C

D                           G         D                         C
I moved in with you about a year ago, and then it didn't seem a crime,
D                        G                 D                  C    D
I used his shaving cream for a week or so, it ran out after a time,
Am                          Em
Looks like his memory won't do the same,
    C                               D
Too many times you bite your lip to stop a more familiar name,
Am                          Em
I thought it was natural, I thought it was bound to pass,
    C                                D
But now it seems our love's the only thing round here not built to last.

                           G
Feels like I'm living in a stranger's house,
                           Bm
Feels like I'm living in a stranger's world,
                       C
I can't forget another careless mistake,
Am            D
It's just too much for me girl,
                          G
To keep on living in this stranger's house,
                          Bm
To keep on living in this stranger's world,
                       C
I can't forget another slip of the tongue,
Am             D
It's just too much for me girl.

G                       D
I know you say you try, I think you do,
C                                   D
But you can't forget the things you don't want to,
G                               D
And when you said your love for him had died,
C                 D
I don't think you realised you lied,
Am                               Em
And I've had enough of trying to cope with it,
C                                        D
Trying to fill somebody's shoes and they just don't fit,
Am                               Em
So why don't you call him up and you can ask him back,
C                             D
You can tell him all his qualities I lack.

                           G
Feels like I'm living in a stranger's house,
                           Bm
Feels like I'm living in a stranger's world,
                        C
I can't forgive another careless mistake,
Am            D
It's just too much for me girl,
                          G
To keep on living in this stranger's house,
                          Bm
To keep on living in this stranger's world,
                       C
I can't forget another slip of the tongue,
Am             D
It's just too much for me girl.

Am-Em-C-D-Am-Em-C-D

                                        G
I can't stand living in this stranger's house,
                                        Bm
Can't keep forgiving in this stranger's world,
                        C
I can't forgive another careless mistake,
Am            D
It's just too much for me girl.
                                        G
I can't stand living in this stranger's house,
                                        Bm
Can't keep forgiving in this stranger's world,
                       C
I can't forget another slip of the tongue,
Am            D
It's just too much for me girl.
