  	Reveals the bed that you're not in

  	                 Am         G6    Fmaj7

  	I reach for the light, it shines across the room

  	    Bm7-5                 E             Am/E  Dm/E   E

  	And brings to mind what might have been

  

  Verse 2:

  

  	I tell myself I'm better off   no one can hurt me now

  	I see your crumpled photograph   it makes me laugh out loud

  	Laugh out loud

  

  [repeat chorus]

  

  Bridge:

  

  	        F      Em      Dm       G7        C    /B    /A   /G

  	When I wish I could forget how good you looked    tonight

  	           F       Em       F     Dm        G7

  	When you smiled at me and walked away with him  (oh... oh, no!)

  			       I see your crumbled photograph, it makes me

  	(I  reach  for  the  light)

  	                       I lie awake, my lonely room   tells me there's
