 Wendy's sittin' next  to me, She's trying  hard to drink it away
 And I feel the  rumble of the subway  beneath the stage
 And her eyes are  screaming,  And her lips are pursed
 And this ain't her first  heartache, But it  feels like,
 it feels like the worst,  And she says
 Can someone  tell me how  this can happen,  I guess that God  only knows
 My heart  used to be,  The sweet  shop of love
 But now the  sign on the  door, It says sorry  we're closed
  1/2 1/2
 And I hear myself tell  her, Some old  words I know they won't help
 And then I feel guilty,  'Cause I've closed  some sweet shops myself
 And we all talk  about timing, And lifestyles  and such
 But to a heart  that's been shattered, Those words  don't mean much
 And all  of our pining, It just  goes to show, Don't you enter  a shop,
 With the sign  on the door Saying sorry  we're closed
  1/2 1/2
 -  -  -  -  x2
 And she's been  through all the pain,  That one  can endure
 And her new  man thinks she loves  him, But he  can't be sure
 And his heart  pines for Wendy,  She says that's  how it goes
 How am I  supposed to know, He can't read  the sign saying
Sorry  we're closed,  Yeah  we're closed, And  she  says
 Can someone  tell me how  this can happen,  I guess that God  only knows
 My heart  used to be,  The sweet  shop of love
 But now there's  a sign on the  door, There's a sign  on the door
 There's a sign  on the door,  another sign  on the door
 Hope you enjoy! Any comments/questions email me.

[Asus2]  Wendy's sittin' n[E]ext to me, She's tryi[F#m]ng hard to drink it a[Dsus4]way
[Asus2]  And I feel t[E]he rumble of the [F#m]subway beneath the sta[Dsus4]ge
[Asus2]  And her eyes a[E]re screaming,[F#m] And her lips are [Dsus4]pursed
[Asus2]  And this ain't her [E]first heartache, But it[F#m] feels like,
it feels like the wo[Dsus4]rst, And she says

Can s[Asus2]omeone tell me [E]how this can [Bmsus]happen,  [Asus2]   I guess that [E]God only [Bmsus]knows
My [Asus2]heart used to [E]be, The [Bmsus]sweet shop of love
But now th[Asus2]e sign on the[Bmsus] door, It says [E]sorry we're [Dsus4]closed

                   1/2   1/2
[Asus2]   [E]   [F#m]   [Dsus4]   [D9]

[Asus2]  And I hear myself [E]tell her, Some old[F#m] words I know they won't [Dsus4]help
[Asus2]  And then I feel g[E]uilty, 'Cause I've c[F#m]losed some sweet shops mys[Dsus4]elf
And we all [Asus2]talk about timing, And [E]lifestyles and such
But to a [F#m]heart that's been shattered, Those [Dsus4]words don't mean much
And [Asus2]all of our pining, It [E]just goes to show, Don't you [F#m]enter a shop,
With the [Dsus4]sign on the door Saying s[E]orry we're c[Dsus4]losed

                   1/2   1/2
[Asus2] - [E] - [F#m] - [Dsus4] - [D9]   x2

And she's [Asus2]been through all the [Bmsus]pain, That [C#m]one can end[Dsus4]ure
And her [Asus2]new man thinks she [Bmsus]loves him, But [C#m]he can't be [Dsus4]sure
And his [Asus2]heart pines for [Bmsus]Wendy, She says [C#m]that's how it [Dsus4]goes
How am [Asus2]I supposed to know, He can't [Bmsus]read the sign saying
[E]Sorry we're [Dsus4]closed, [Asus2]      [E] Ye[F#m]ah we're closed, [Dsus4]And sh[D9]e says

Can s[Asus2]omeone tell me [E]how this can [Bmsus]happen,  [Asus2]   I guess that [E]God only [Bmsus]knows
My [Asus2]heart used to [E]be, The [Bmsus]sweet shop of love
But now th[Asus2]ere's a sign on t[Bmsus]he door, There's a [C#m]sign on the [Dsus4]door
There's a [Asus2]sign on the [Bmsus]door, another [C#m]sign on the [Dsus4]door

[Asus2]   [Bmsus]   [C#m]   [Dsus]
