D5         G5               D5                     G5               D5
If I seem distant, Baby I am... Words are like scissors in your hands
                        G5       A5                   B5   C#5
And theres no script to follow, so I just close my eyes
                 E5             G5      A5        D5
That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

                    G5                   D5  
I feel just like an actress up on the stage
          G5                            D5
I cant believe, what Im hearing myself say
         G5                  A5              B5                  C#5  
And the porch light is my spotlight. So I play along with this life
                  G5            E5       A5       B5  A5  B5
That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

              G5                      D5
Did you ever love me? Does it even matter?
              E5                      D5
Did you even notice the whole world shatter?
                G5                          D5
I just want to hold you till you know Im sorry
            E5      B5     C#5    
But I just keep it all inside. 
                   G5             E5      A5      D5     
That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

                       G5                             D5
My heart feels like a circus... Its too much to take in
                   G5                          D5
Its hard to lose love, but you were my best friend
       G5             A5       B5     C#5         
So I walk this high wire... Alone tonight
                  E5             G5      A5      B5   A5  G5   
That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye
                  E5            G5      A5      D5     
That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye


That's about it. It should be pretty close the original. This was my first one, 
that I put out in the open. 
I waited four months for someone to do it for me, but guess I just stopped 
waiting. 
You have to play a bit with your  fingers to make it sound like it should, when 
playing the first five chords in the verses, but it will come to you since pretty basic stuff.
