Intro: C#m--, A--C#m-B x2, A-- x2


Verse 1:
       C#m
lights out put my seat 
back as far as it will go 
        E
casting shadows like statues 
I'm right outside your window
        C#m
there?s no such 
thing as second chance 
        E
there?s no such thing
don?t bother to explain 


Refrain:
          A
you're so beautiful
        B            C#m E
did you hear a word I    said? 
          A
you're so beautiful
  B                   C#m E
I guess this is what I    get 


Chorus:
   C#m
we trust and believe so easily 
    A
and words they speak we 
                      B
seek security in one another 
                            E   G#
but there?s no way to cover this 
          C#m
and these tragic nights
                      A
and afternoons weak disaster 
and I can still feel you 
      B
as if you were in the room 
where does our story 
     G#
end? where does it start? 
I buried you along with my heart 


Verse 2:
C#m
entertain me 
           E
tell me it didn't
mean anything 
    C#m
its vengous worth
my tolerance
and I could be careless
      E
but I promise you'll
feel everything


(Repeat Refrain and Chorus)

Bridge:
  E
i guess this is what
A B  C#m      E A
I get (I know) 
  B                  C#m E
i guess this is what I   get 
                     A B     C#m E
(did you hear a word I said?) 


(Repeat Chorus)

B      C#m(hold)
word I said?
