Bbm--G#--F#--C#-F x2


Verse 1:
Bbm
  Speak to me
Tell me something
   C#
so typical
A lullaby or
something miserable
That will keep me
   Ab/C C#   Ebm
up at   night
Bbm
Cross out my eyes
I know you planned it
    C#
You know I love you
and I can't stand it
Bbm          Ab/C   C# Ebm
We just lost control
             Bbm(hold)
We just lost control


Chorus:
Bbm
  Lie to me
Give me something
      Ab
worth living for
Tell me a reason
      F#
worth fighting for
Give me anything
C#          F
Anything to keep
me breathing
(Repeat)


Verse 2:
Bbm
  Lie to me
Tell me stories
   C#
so beautiful
An epic or
something so terrible
                 Ab/C C# Ebm
That it makes me weep
Bbm
Cross out these days
On your calendar
   C#
It hurts me so much
And I'm not quite sure
Bbm       Ab/C
I care anymore
C#     Ebm Bbm(hold)
I care any-more


(Repeat Chorus)
