Tuning: Standard EADGBe



Intro: E5  A5 C#5 A5  x2


Verse 1:
           E5         A5
It's about time that I 
     C#5        A5
came clean with you
              E5
I'm no longer fine I'm 
   A5   C#5      A5
no longer running smooth
               E5
I thought that I found 
       A5 C#5          A5
myself under   something new
              E5
Just one more line I repeat 
A5     C#5   B5
over and over again


Chorus 1:
                    A5
Til I'm blue in the face 
       E5         B5
with a choking regret
                  A5
Because I talk in circles 
 E5               B5
around you on my bed
            A5             E5
Can't say I blame you one bit 
         B5             E5 A5
when you kept it all inside
         B5
When you left that night


Post Biss: E5  A5 C#5 A5  x2


Verse 2:
           E5
It's about time that 
A5   C#5        A5
you got   sick of me
          E5          A5
No longer fun and so far 
     C#5    A5
from interesting
               E5
I thought that I found me 
  A5    C#5        A5
a cure for   feeling old
              E5       A5
Just one more line to keep me 
 C#5     B5
sleeping loudly and cold


Chorus 2:
      A5            E5          B5
In disgrace with a shameful regret
              A5   
As I speak in tongues 
     E5          B5
to myself in my bed
            A5             E5
Can't say I blame you one bit 
         B5             E5 A5
when you kept it all inside
         B5
When you left that night


Interlude: E5  B5  B5  A5   x2


Bridge:
    E5
And all that followed 
B5      B5          A5
fell like mercury to hell
    E5
Somehow we lost our 
B5              B5 A5
heads for the last  time
    E5
And all that followed 
B5      B5          A5
fell like mercury to hell
    E5
Somehow we lost our 
A5                 B5
heads for the last  time


Outro:
    E5
And I don't dream since 
        E5   A5
I quit sleeping
     E5
No I haven't slept 
            E5 A5
since I met you
    E5
And you can't breathe 
                    E5   A5
without coughing at daytime
                B5
And neither can I
                   A5
So what do you say?
B(hold) B5         E(hold)
  Your  coffin or mine?
