Latest flame

 

 

1. There I sat in a busy diner eating my food, browsing through my phone.
|Am |Am |Am |Am |Am |Am |Am |Am
I lifted my head and looked around me. I looked back down. I was all alone.
|Dm |Dm |Am |Am |Dm |Dm |Am |Am
In she walked, into the busy diner and proud and bold, walking right behind her
|E7 |E7tacet |Am |Am
like on a leash was her latest flame.

 

2. Well, I remember when times were brighter. I remember when life was good.
I remember waking up beside her every morning, just the way I should.
Then one evening at this big reception I grew aware of her deception.
She took a ride with her latest flame.

 

3. I soon discovered, this was not the first time. It had happened many times before.
And I found out this was public knowledge. How come I was the last to know?
The so called book club was just a cover to give her time to see another lover.
There again with her latest flame.

 

4. The house is empty, the evenings lonely and the bed is cold as ice
but there’s no reason to be sorry, Don’t need your pity, need no advice
‘cause I’ve made plans to spend my weekend on a bar stool with my new girlfriend.
Tennessee Whiskey, my latest flame.

 

End. My latest flame. My latest flame.
