(verse 1)
G5                   G5       G5                        C5
  Right in front of me, a couple makes what could melt the snow
G5                G5       G5               C5
  Making fun of me   a single look never cut me so

 (chorus)
        C5 F5   A#5             G5
  And I go to save the conversation
     C5 F5   A#5            G5       C5     F5       A#5            G5
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 C5                       C5                  G5
  Everyone would love me, if I could fool the world

(transition) G5   G5   G5   C5

(verse 2)
G5                G5         G5                C5
  Walk away from me, I see the change in the atmosphere
G5               G5          G5                   C5
  What a way to be, to turn the page just to make it clear

(chorus 2)
        C5 F5   A#5             G5
  And I go to save the conversation
     C5 F5   A#5            G5       C5     F5       A#5
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 C5                       C5                  G5
  Everyone would love me, if I could fool the world

(interlude)
      C5             A#5 F5   G5
  To fear, or to disappear
                   C5     D5
  What a waste of time...

(verse 3)
G5                   G5         G5              C5
  What a troubled mind   a fortune find for another day
G5                   G5         G5                      C5
  As you're passing by, you look behind to see what I would say

(chorus 3)
        C5 F5    A#5             G5
  And I go to change the conversation
     C5 F5   A#5            G5       C5     F5       A#5            G5
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 C5                       C5
  Everyone would love me, if I could
       C5 F5    A#5             G5
  So I go to change the conversation
     C5 F5   A#5            G5       C5             G5   F5  C5
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
C5                       C5
  Everyone would love me... if I could fool... the world

  "Ladies and gentlemen, Backhouse Mike!"

(bridge)
C5                        G5              C5                     G5
  I can't survive another day in the life, without a day in the sun
C5                              G5            C5                     G5
  Before you touch me here's a word of advice; if I were you I would run

  (Get it, come get it, come get it, come get it)
   N.C.                        C5
  (So won't you tell me why it is...)
                           G5            C5                      G5
  That every corner of my head is a home, but every fool is the same
C5                          G5           C5                      A#5
  It'd be so tragic if you left me alone, but left me no one to blame

(bridge 2)
         F#5                F5          A#5
  Well, don't it make you wonder what got us here?
       F#5              F5            A#5
  The covers that were under could disappear
   F#5       F5          G5
  Promises keep us in chains, my dear...
