Verse 1:

E5    
Like a foggy mirror,

        G5                D5
Where receptions blurred

                               E5
And things could stand to be clearer.

                        G5               D5
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye.

E5                               G5      D5
If I could be the man on your shoulder

                   E5
A God as you grow older.

                  G5        D5
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.


Pre Chorus:

E5           /  D5                 A5
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

         D5
Of happy endings.

E5          /   D5              A5
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

         D5
A new beginning.

Chorus:

C5                  D5                          E5
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G5
And all the promises they made us,


are all shattered on the ground.

Verse 2:

E5
Your defense,

       G5            D5
you've done no wrong

                      E5
And live life in innocence,

                        G5           D5
So how could they have looked you in the eye?

E5                            G5       D5
If I could be the man on your shoulder

                          E5
To Watch you as you grow older.

                  G5       D5
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.


Pre Chorus:

E5           /  D5                 A5
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

         D5
Of happy endings.

E5          /   D5              A5
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

         D5
A new beginning.


Chorus: [x2]

C5                  D5                          E5
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G5
And all the promises they made us,

                           C5
are all shattered on the ground.


Bridge:

              D5
It's on the ground.

                       E5
And when the cards are down,


It's safe to say that all bets are off.

             C5
It's on the ground.

                       D5
And when the cards are down,

                  E5
Well it's time to play, it's hard to say.


So bet all call.



Chorus: [x2]

C5                  D5                          E5
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G5
And all the promises they made us,

                           C5     
are all shattered on the ground.


                         D5
Shattered on the ground,


All the cards are down

E5
Everything they told us

     G5                   C5
has always been so wrong,

    D5         E5        G5 / E5
So wrong, so wrong, so wrong.
