She fills my bed with gasoline
You think I would've noticed
Her mind's made up The love is gone
I think someone's trying to show us a sign
That even if we thought it would last
The moment would pass
My bones will break and my heart would give
Oh, it hurts to live
Chorus:
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over
Em chord (down,down,up)... H* 12th fret e..b. H*
7th fret g..gG chord (down,down,up) G chord (down,up)
but when you do the upstroke move your finger on the
low e string to the second fret which gives it that
slight change you here... H* 5th fret a,d,g strings all together.
Verse:
It hurts to breathe, Well every time
that you're not next to me
Her mind's made up, The girl is gone
And now I'm forced to see
I think I'm on my way
Oh, it hurts to live today
Oh and she says "Don't you wish
you were dead like me?"
Chorus:
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
And I remember the day you told me it's over
Bridge: E...F#...G...A (1)
E...F#...G...D (2)(keep alternating throughout the bridge)

But it just won't stop (2)
It just won't go away (1)
I needed more than this (1)
I wanted more than this (2)

But it just won't stop (2)
It just won't go away (1)
Chorus:
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left it all behind
And I remember the day you told me it's over
Chorus:
And I remember the day when you left for Santa Monica
You left me to remain with all your excuses for everything
And I remember the time when you left for Santa Monica
Yeah, I remember the day you told me it's over
Well thats it just get the strumming figured out and enjoy.
That harmonic part after the first chorus I couldn't really
figure out by ear but it works for me I'm sure it's not
totally correct but the rest of the song should be fairly
close. Enjoy.
