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 youve 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 
E                        C#m                              G#
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of 
                  A
the questionnaire never changes. 
E                                    C#m                               
I heard the news that youre planning to shoot me out of a cannon. 
G#                            A                         E
I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning. 
[Chorus]
                     A                         F#m           C#m
You look like youve 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 youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable 
       B7
shoes. 
       E            C#m           G#            A         
 Ooooh  Piledriver
