intro- F#m  E   
(X2)  (LISTEN TO SONG FOR RHYTHM)

B                  F#m               E
All the mistakes I made I made because
                 F#m
I didn't know myself very well
B              F#m           E
And by this stage I feel like
                    F#m
I really shouldn't know myself
B           F#m                    E
I'm forced into a sponsored silence
F#m              B
Where I'm only paid
           F#m
If I don't say
               E
What I want to say

 F#m E F#m           A         E
       Open up your eyes and see
                  B       A
        I can't throw it all away
 F#m E F#m            A         E
        Open up your eyes and see
                B        A
        I can't give it all away
        F#m              E             A
        I couldn't even care what you say
        E
        Change
                   F#m  E   F#m
        You changed everything
              A                       E   B  A
        And blame it on your obvious ways

(SAME AS BEFORE)
I gamble my praises
And threw the jukebox from my favorite phrases
As we cling to the nightclub walls
We whisper the words, we whisper them wrong

So we screamed out the wrong words
Into our own song
And with a kiss that tasted like drugs
Which taste like we'll never ever make it home

Open up your eyes and see
I can't throw it all away
Open up your eyes and see
I can't give it all away
I couldn't even care what you say
Change
You changed everything
And blame it on your obvious ways

F#m            E
F#m            E

F#m
Throw me around
                      E
First you've got to calm me down
                   F#m
Don't you think you should calm me down
                    E
Before you throw me around
E
You throw me into
F#m E F#m               A          E
        another move I can't remake
              B        A
        It changes everything
F#m E F#m              A         E
        Open up your arms and say
          B      A
        Give it all away
        F#m              E             A
        I couldn't even care what you say
        E
        Change
                   F#m E F#m
        You changed everything
             A                        E   B   A
        And blame it on your obvious ways
