I  looked you up and down
I  liked everything I saw
From  the fragile outline of your hips
To  the trembling movement in your jaw
But  when the coffee cup shattered on the kitchen  floor
You  said that you couldn't take  it anymore
I  knew you were leaving
I  knew you were going to  Bristol
I  watched you pack your bags
I  saw you head out to the door
But  when the key broke off in the deadbolt lock
You  said that you couldn't take it anymore
That  was the second time you said that in  one day
Why  don't you just sit still, it's  going to be OK
Going  to Bristol
I  knew you were going to  Bristol
 The chords during the chorus sound very nice as power chords, but a full barre will do as well.
 This song can also be done in the key of C really well, just alternate between C
 and F7, and at the chorus use a G and Em
