Intro

EmWell (022000@1)the truth it fell so heavy
GLike (320003@1)a hammer through the room
C (x32010@1)                              GThat (320003@1)I could choose another over her
C (x32010@1)                        EmYou (022000@1)always said I was an actor, baby
G (320003@1)                                  DGuess (xx0232@1)in truth you thought me just amateur
EmThat (022000@1)you never saw the signs
       GThat (320003@1)you never lost your grip
        COh, (x32010@1)come on now
                          GThat's (320003@1)such a childish claim
       CNow (x32010@1)I wear the brand of traitor
          EmDon't (022000@1)it seem a bit absurd
          G (320003@1)                           DWhen (xx0232@1)it's clear I was so obviously framed
          C (x32010@1)                          EmWhen (022000@1)it's clear I was so obviously framed

Em (022000@1)        EmNow (022000@1)you act so surprised
   GTo (320003@1)hear what you already know
C (x32010@1)                               GAnd (320003@1)all you really had to do was ask
C (x32010@1)                  
I'd have told you straight away
            EmAll (022000@1)those lies were truth
G (320003@1)                        DAnd (xx0232@1)all that was false was fact


EmNow (022000@1)you hold me close and hard
GBut (320003@1)I was like a statue at most
C (x32010@1)                                GRefusing (320003@1)to acknowledge you'd been hurt
CNow (x32010@1)you're clawing at my throat
EmAnd (022000@1)you're crying all is lost
G (320003@1)                                      DBut (xx0232@1)your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
C (x32010@1)                                      EmBut (022000@1)your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

EmWell (022000@1)the truth it fell so heavy

EmWas (022000@1)it you who told me once
GNow (320003@1)looking back it seems so real
C (x32010@1)                              G (320003@1)        
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
C (x32010@1)                      Em (022000@1)
So why is it now after I had my fill
G (320003@1)                                        DThat (xx0232@1)you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
C (x32010@1)                            GShall (320003@1)we call this a lesson learned?
C (x32010@1)                            EmShall (022000@1)we call this a lesson learned?
