Intro: E5
A5 F5 G5 E5 x2

         A5       F5            G5
I can pretend for you, that I mean
  E5         A5        F5
every word said it's true
            G5       E5    C5
That I'd probably rather be like
    G5       E5    A5    G5
a stranger in disguise
F5               G5
And act as if nothing ever..

F5               G5        E5            A5
Died or faded away, got lonelier with age
G5    F5    G5
And time isn't on our side

C5             G5                                A5
I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake
                               F5    G5
And make it seem like they're overrated
C5             G5              F5
You certainly talk about me more when
        G5
I fall down
C5              G5                      A5
And when I get up, my time is never enough
                      F5       G5
Loved in front behind my back hated
E5               E5
I guess it has everything to do with luck

        A5         F5
I can defend the truth
      G5          E5           A5    F5
but I sound like white noise to my friends
     G5        E5        C5
As I raise my glass to you
     G5      E5        A5    G5
In a stupor we speak words
F5             G5
That couldn't be more honest

F5               G5        E5                A5
Lies we lived before are fights without a war
G5    F5   G5
I'm dead when it's in your head

C5               G5                           A5
I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink
                        F5     G5
Are cutting our chances of being saved
C5               G5            F5              G5
I see that the end is all we have to let us know
C5            G5                               A5
I'd like to believe in something more than a dream
                        F5        G5
For when the will to be one has faded
E5           A5                   F5
I guess the truth will soon be deceived
   G5                 F5
My friend that isn't there,
G5         C5
  My solitaire.
