Gm                        D                         
After years of work we've finished the walls
    F                     C                                 
And yet somehow we feel a little breeze
Gm                               E
there will always be a gap for a draft
       C                      F            C
If you get what you want and not what you need
G                       D          C
This is what we do when run out of glue
Am              F          C          Em    C    E
This is what we do, what we do. We fall apart.

Gm                               D
We scavenge through our friends for a companion
               F               C
We search for comfort in the debris
       Gm                 E
We let desperation become synonymous with weakness 
   C                 F              C
We crave for someone else to set us free
G                             D               C
This is what we say when we've truly lost the way
Am              F            C             Em    C    E
This is what we say, what we say. from the heart      

We say 
Gm             D                Gm         A
I'm not unhappy I'm only just a little bit lonely
        C                           Am
I need someone that I care about around
Gm          D          Gm      A
Gravity may tether our planets together
       C                      D
but it can't hold a butterfly down
Gm              D             Gm      A         
Clouds weigh so much yet they float above
           C                             F      C     F
when we're filled with love we can float too 
 
Gm                       D
we hopelessly switch our one primal fuel source
   F                                   C
To something of which we know we can't depend
    Gm                       E
When things go astray our other half is torn away
          C              F          C
And we're left without a lover or a friend
G               D           C
This is what we are when we go a little far
Am              F            C             Em    C     E
this is what we are, what we are. Not very smart

Gm                        D
A few steps forward for a slingshot back
    F                          C
We're trampled by something we once chased
Gm                            E
hate and dismay hurricane the parade
          C             F         C
We're convinced it was all just a waste
G                D          D   D   C
This is where we go when we get so low
Am               F             C           Em     C     E
This is where we go, where we go. Back to start

Gm        D               Gm                A
Listen up dude, you gotta learn a thing or two
                  C             Am
Eventually you'll find what you lose
Gm         D            Gm               A
misery and strife, it's all just part of life
     C                          D
Your dying heart fertilizes the new
Gm                  D              Gm           A
It's cold and rough now but you can melt all the snow
          C              F            C
When you learn to let go you can melt too

C                                  A
now these things might just be the essence
F                               C
which holds a crumbling world together
               D
But if you ask me
Am                           Em
Love and life its all just a game
                                    G
And cupid's arrow's done killed the refiree
