[Verse 1]
A5 E5 A5 E5
Oh, I - I watch it all go down
A5 E5 A5 E5
Closed eyes - pretend no one's around
A5 B5 A5 B5
So I - I chose to play the clown
A5 B5 A5 B5
Or blow by and never make a sound
[Chorus]
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Any other guy would wanna take it outside
E5 B5 C#5 A5 (3 strums, then PM)
But I'd never even try who wants to get their lights knocked out?
E5 B5 C#5 A5
Any other guy would wanna stir it up some,
A5 B5 B5
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#5 A5 E5 B5
Hardly know what anything's for
C#5 A5 E5 B5
Just for show, I'm slamming the door
C#5 A5 E5 B5 A5
Even so, my heart and my head are an open book
[Instrumental]
A5 , E5 [x4]
or
Play the intro riff [x4]
[Chorus x2]
A5 B5 B5
I'd rather say goodbye
(End on E5 )
