Tom: C#5

Intro:  C#5   F#5   G#5

C#5          
It never used to be that bad
F#5                G#5
But neither was it great
C#5                      
Somewhere in the middle than
F#5         G#5
Content and much too safe
E5
Ooh tell me please
                B5   B5
Why it takes so long
C#5   F#5                         B5
To realize when there's something wrong

CHORUS
       E5             A5
Lay me out with your heart
          B5
Now we're gettin' somewhere
        E5           A5
Push me back to the start
          B5
Now we're gettin' somewhere
        E5          A5
Take me out let me breathe
          B5
Now we're gettin' somewhere
              E5           A5
When I'm with you I don't care
         B5
Where it is I'm falling

There's money in the Bible Belt
Hugs for daddy too
Three wishes for eternity
We've got some work to do
Ooh tell me please, tell me what went wrong
Cos I believe there is something wrong

         E5                     A5
When you took me to your room
                  B5
I swear I said surrender
         E5                     A5
When you opened up your mouth
          B5
I saw the words fall out
       E5                         A5
Though nothing much has changed
                  B5
I swear I will surrender
         E5              A5      B5
There is pain in my heart
       E5              A5           B5
We can choose what we choose to believe
