Intro: B-E-G#m-F#- x4


Verse 1:
E
  When everything that
B               F#
comes from your mouth is
E             B     F#
  Overwhelmingly sarcastic
E
  It's time to lower
B      F#
your defense Cause
   C#m
if you keep going on
          B/Eb E
like this I'll never

say it? whoooa whoooa
B    E
  If it's what you

want then why all the
B         E      G#m F#
games? whoooa whoooa
E
  At the edge of
what I can take
        F#

E
  When everything

is life or death

  Your words have started
B      F#      E
losing their effect
I can't keep being
B         F#
forced to guess
         C#m
Cause if you keep

B/Eb E
I'll never know
     F#
what to believe

B    E
  If it's what you

Bridge:
E                    F#
  And as the camera runs out
                     E
The picture comes in clear
                     F#
I guess we've always known
                 E
pretended not to seeing
                    F#
we both just wanted someone
                         E
to find a little comfort in
But if we can't keep passed
F#                       E--B-F#
this by now we never will
   C#m
If You keep going on like this
B/Eb E               F#
I'll never know what to believe
    C#m
I'm never gonna understand
B/Eb E                     F#
If   you won't ever let me in
