[Verse 1]
A9 E A9 E
Oh, I - I watch it all go down
A9 E A9 E
Closed eyes - pretend no one's around
A9/F# B4/Ab A9 B4
So I - I chose to play the clown
A9/F# B4/Ab A9 B4
Or blow by and never make a sound
[Chorus]
E B4 C#m7 A9
Any other guy would wanna take it outside
E B4 C#m7 A9 (3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E B4 C#m7 A9
Any other guy would wanna stir it up some,
A9/F# B4/Ab B4
But I'd rather say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Turn 'round - say it to my face
No sound - Everything's a race
Lose ground - lost in your embrace
Leave town - never leave a trace
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
C#m7 A9 E B4
Hardly know what anything's for
C#m7 A9 E B4
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#m7 A9 E B4 A9
Even so, my heart and my head are an open book
[Instrumental]
A9 , E [x4]
or
Play the intro riff [x4]
[Chorus x2]
A9/F# B4/Ab B4
I'd rather say goodbye
(End on E )
