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

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

Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes
I heard the news that you're planning
To shoot me out of a cannon
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning

Chorus

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Piledriver
