[Verse]
C                               
I etched the face of a stopwatch
Am                       
On the back of a raindrop
E                                 F         
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.
C                        Am                                    
I heard an unhappy ending it sort of sounds like you're leaving
E                             F                          C
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.

[Chorus]
                     F                         Dm             Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
                              F                  Dm       Am               
And sat in a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
     F            G             C          E     
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
                F                                             G          
If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable
shoes.

[Verse]
C                        Am                               E                 
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of
                  F             
the questionnaire never changes.
C                                     Am                         
I heard the news that youre planning to shoot me out of a cannon.
E                             F                         C
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.

[Chorus]
                     F                         Dm             Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel
                              F                  Dm       Am               
And sat in a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose.
     F            G             C          E     
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
                F                                             G         
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable
shoes.
G     C          Am E F
Ooooh  Piledriver
