It Stops With Me

Dm
When you tuck me in at night

Roll up the covers, turn out the light
Dm
Kiss me on the cheek and say

I heard Tony Chop-Chop got away
                 A#
Now the window must stay open,
        Dm
Don't touch it little boy
            A
If you're still here in the morning
                           Dm
I'll buy you a brand new toy.

[Verse 2]

Dm
Don't know what Jack saw in you

The old man wouldn't see the truth
Dm
You didn't want us in the deal

So you ground up dirt and put it in our meals
            A#
There was method in the madness,
            Dm
You were slippery as an eel,
          A
You're a family epidemic
                      Dm
I don't like how it feels.

[Chorus]

A#
You're the toast of the town

With neighbors around
A#
You're the cool one,
            Dm
You're a chameleon

And I'm waiting for the change
           A#
When you come up for air

With a hundred yard stare coming undone.
               E
This party is no fun,
                          Dm
You've lost hold of the reins.
Dm
Time has passed,

And I've moved on
Dm
Made up my mind

To forget the wrong
Dm
Life is sweeter when you share,

Even strangers show they care.
         A#
I've buried the hatchet,
     Dm
It stops with me.
A
Hate costs plenty
                       Dm
Love would have been free.

[Chorus]

A#
You're the toast of the town

With neighbors around
A#
You're the cool one,
            Dm
You're a chameleon

And I'm waiting for the change
           A#
When you come up for air

With a hundred yard stare coming undone.
               E
This party is no fun,
                          Dm
You've lost hold of the reins.

Hate costs plenty
                       Dm
Love would have been free.
