Verse 1:
            E5
Here it is again yet it 
 C5              G5
stings like the first time
      D5        E5
Seems it never ends double 
   C5       G5
nickels on your dime
  D5               E5
I thought we were friends
        C5
I guess it just 
  G5
depends who you ask
D5     E5
These feelings tend to leave 
C5         G5               D5
me with a hole in my chest
E5   C5 G5         D5     E5   C5 G5
  ohh   the hole in my chest
D5     E5 C5 G5    D5          E5   C5 G5

        D5        E5
Now the time has come I 
          C5        G5
just wish I could erase
        D5      E5
All the damage done to 
          C5        G5
your name and your keepsake
          D5      E5
It's Only just begun it's been 
    C5       G5
fun we were blind deaf and dumb
D5         E5
There's a party in my 
   C5           G5        D5   
closet calling all skeletons oh
E5    C5  G5          D5   E5  C5 G5
  ske-he-he-he all skeletons
        C5
calling all oh oh oh


Chorus 1:
              E5
Where did you go once
    G5
the lights when black?
C5                       A5
  Look what's become of me
              E5
I've grown to love
          D5
your disappearing acts
   G5               B5
Do one more pretty please

  D5         E5
Only just begun it's been fun
C5         G5

D5         E5
There's a killer on the 
   C5

G5               D5
looking for love

Bridge:
C5                     D5
  And to tell you the truth
                   E5
I lost my faith in you
you gotta stop speaking
B5       C5
off on me And these 
         D5
unspoken lies
                    E5
appear at the worst times
you gotta stop speaking
B5
off on me 
C5                D5
  They're hiding just
            E5  C5 G5 D5 E5 C5 G5 D5
behind your eyes

Em-C-G-D-Em-C-G-D-C--


Chorus 3:

the lights when black?

  Look what's become of me
              E5
I've grown to love
          D5
your disappearing acts
   C5               G5
Do one more pretty please


Chorus 4:
              E5
Where did you go once
    G5
the lights when black?
C5
  You nearly gave us
  A5
a heart attack
E5
  We thought you 
           D5
might swim out to sea
G5
  You gotta stop
         B5
sneaking off on me
C5
  You gotta stop
         D5        Em(hold)
sneaking off on me
