C
   F       C
I love the way 
  F       C
I feel so calm

although

I can hardly wait.

I hear your voice,

I've made

my choice, I know.

I taste your skin,

it melts and sings,
     F
yes, we

can win, I'm sure.

(I love the way 
I feel so calm
although 
I can hardly wait.

I hear your voice, 
it feels like rain,
I've made 
my choice, I know.

I taste your skin, 
it melts and sings,
yes, we 
can win, I'm sure.

I'll see your heart 
like golden fire,
it leads 
me on for good.)

         Bb   F  C
I cannot dare to look 
           Bb   F   C
At exactly what you took 
          Bb   F  C
I give it time to breathe 
             Bb    F     C
And wipe its tears on my sleeve 

            Bb
And it will break my heart 
           F                 C
With every sound it makes on you 
             Bb
And it's all over dear 
               F 
You squeeze my hand and I 
             C
I know it's true 
         
           Bb   F        C
His little hand round my thumb
         Bb   F   C 
Makes me warm and numb
          Bb     F   C 
I hold my breath and smile 
            Bb    F     C
And hope it stays for a while

            Bb
And it will break my heart 
           F                 C
With every sound it makes on you 
             Bb
And it's all over dear 
               F 
You squeeze my hand and I 
             C
I know it's true

Intro: B E B E

B
                                    E
I'd always thought of someone else
                            B
Before I would think of you
                             E
I'd always take the easy way
                            B
Before I'd struggle with it
                                E
Can't you see I have no choice?
                        B
Other than to leave you
                                E
All those years I lost my voice
                 
Shouting over nothing


Ebm
                       E         Ebm
Never would be easy to hear babe
                             E         Ebm
What you have got nothing to fear babe
                                       E           Ebm
Just think of all the things that I've done to you
                          E
Anytime you're wanting me back girl


B
                                   E
I haven't noticed much has changed
                           B
I'm drinking every day now
                                    E           
I used to hope the phone would ring 
                            B
but now I'm glad it doesn't
                             E
Loving someone's hard enough
                            B
But leaving them is torture
                                     E
Don't think I don't think of you now
                               
I'm with you every day dear


Ebm
                       E         Ebm
Never would be easy to hear babe
                             E         Ebm
What you have got nothing to fear babe
                                       E           Ebm
Just think of all the things that I've done to you
                          E
Anytime you're wanting me back girl


Repeat intro again to end on B.

Intro: G C x4


G                C
Your sweet voice 
G                  C            G       C
Lets me know there is a choice 
G C
G             C
Plays me slow 
G                         C     G       C
Oh, much more slowly than that 
G C
G                  C
And when we danced 
G                        C          G       C
We danced warm cheek to cold cheek 
G C
G                 C
A sideways glance 
G                       C        G        C
I knew you were looking at him 
G C


Em
        Bm             C
I can't call you a friend 
                Em                D                 C
'Cause when you left me here, You left me here to die 
Em            Bm                  C
Don't worry I won't call you again 
               Em            D                 C
'Cause when I take a hint, I take it pretty hard 
             Em                  D           C
And when you broke my heart, you broke it into shards of glass 


G C x4

G             C
The telephone 
G         C             G     C
Yells out at me to wake 
G C
G                 C
I won't be blamed 
G           C               G     C
For someone else's mistakes 
G C
G                     C
It's your sweet voice 
G        C               G      C
Sounding cheery and warm 
G C
G                  C
It breaks my heart 
G            C               G       C
But I summon up all my charm 
G C


Em
       Bm              C
Can I call you my friend?
        Em                               G                    C
'Cause it's been so long since we've talked, that I miss you 
Em              Bm                 C
Don't worry I'm over you right now 
      Em                 G                C
So my feelings won't get in the way of it 
      Em              D                 C            
Oh, I miss the way we talked about the little things

Intro: F C Bb x8

F
C        Bb
Leave my bed warm and
F            C             Bb
I'll breathe in your smell
F
   C         Bb               F
We shouldn't tell a single soul
    C           Bb
You know its right
F
  C       Bb
I want to shout it out
F            C        Bb
It's killing me to hold
F
C       Bb
Hold it in my head
               F          C       Bb
When's there's barely room for me

      F       Bb           F      Bb
And I see you name in the darkness
         F      Bb F      Bb
Like you should be there
      F        Bb           F      Bb
And I miss you more when im coming down 
      F     Bb      F   Bb
And I fear the door
Bb Bb F F Bb F

Then the chords of the first verse again:

(Leave my brain in knots
That I'll never quite unfurl
I can't make head nor tail
Of this fizzing on my tongue
Both my hands are tied 
So I can't pick up the phone
Even if I wanted to
By god I don't)

      F       Bb           F      Bb
And I see you name in the darkness
         F      Bb F      Bb
Like you could be there
      F        Bb           F      Bb
And I miss you more when im coming down 
      F     Bb      F   Bb
And I fear the door
Bb Bb F F Bb F

And repeat the intro again ( F C Bb )

A 
                              E
My wounds are nicely slated dear
                            A 
I never got to thank you right
                                  E
I was finished way before i could see
                               A
Quite what you had in mind for me


           E
I'm doing cartwheels
           A
I'm doing cartwheels
           E
I'm doing cartwheels


A
                            E
Now the pessimism in me yawns
                                A
As I'm pissing on their perfect front lawns
                             E
A voice calls out behind my back
                             A
and i take off into the grounds


           E
I'm doing cartwheels
           A
I'm doing cartwheels
           E
I'm doing cartwheels

      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots
      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots


A
                               E
I didn't mean to speak out of turn
                                A
Now you can sit and watch me squirm
                                 E
now the party's really in full swing
                               A
I wish i had a friend i could ring


           E
I'm doing cartwheels
           A
I'm doing cartwheels
           E
I'm doing cartwheels


A
                                      E
You're really loving this aren't you dear
                                     A
Now you've got me on the ropes out here
                             E
With nowhere else to run to now
                             
Just stay and face the music



      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots
      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots
      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots
      C#m        A*           E
It'll all tie me up into knots

Cut out the small talk 
     Em              C
I've given up on you 
D                     Aadd9
You're brave with the big talk 
         Em                     C
when all your friends are there 
D                 Aadd9
Bronzed from the sunshine

Of all your holidays

I can't hide all this shame

D                 Aadd9
I fought for your honor 
      Em                   C
A lot more than made sense 
D                 Aadd9
I'm distanced I'm sucked out 
     Em              C
Away from breakables 
D                  Aadd9
It ryhmes with the stunts 
         Em                C
You pull wool over my eyes 
D            Aadd9
I cry out in lumps 
            Em               C   C
And pretend to need your shoulder

           D                       A
If I could cradle you into my arms
       D                          A
I would cradle you tight in my arms 
  D   A
always
            D                               A
So don't be scared of all those hurtful words
                 D                                 A
'Cause in the end they'll hurt themselves much more

You are my joy, you are my joy
           D               A

You are my joy, you are my joy

Intro: C

   A                   Bm
It all makes sense now I've calmed down
              A                                     Bm
I should have seen it coming from miles down the road
    A               Bm
But at the time we never think
        A                                     Bm
That it might've been ourselves to blame at all

A               Bm
You shudder and beat your chest
           A                               Bm
But you'll never warm yourself up believe me
A                    Bm
Where were you? I'd made it through
         A                                  Bm
But only god can judge me now, I hope he's in
     

        C
Why do hearts break
            Bm
When we are on our own
              D                 C                     Bm
Just when you need to pump the life back in yourself?
           C
And why do earthquakes
        Bm
Happen miles away
             D              C                   Bm
When I only want the open ground to swallow me?


A                Bm
Who told you I'd not come through
       A                                  Bm
Before I could speak to you in my defence?
A                Bm
Who made you the righteous one
         A                                 Bm
When I'd only turned around for half an hour?


       C  
Why do chalk lines
        Bm
Tell an empty tale
                D             C                    Bm
And surely it's bad enough to end up on the floor?
              C
And you can scratch your chin
             Bm
I think you understand
                D                 C              Bm
But how can you know what's going on inside my head?
           D           C                 Bm
Maybe I'm better off alive and in my bed

CAPO 1


A     C    A                  G
Everyday I wake up in a new world
A                    C           A         G
The weather's just as bad and it looks the same
A            C     A                  G 
But every morning hosts a new beginning
A          C         A             G
And curses me with a brand new name


D
I fell in love again today
E
I think that's been everyday this week
D
I don't need to know a thing about them
E
I don't need to know a name or hear them speak

D
It took a while to see the uniform
E
But I kept on looking while everyone else stared
D
Then I thought I saw her in the queue
E
And I'm still angry that she thought I thought she cared

A
C              A                  G
Maybe I'm just giving too much away
A           C             A       G
The real me's too easily revealed
A        C              A              G
I didn't think I was looking for a girlfriend
A                    C          A                 G
But then again I thought all my wounds had healed


D
I fell in love again today
E
I think that's been everyday this week
D
I don't need to know a thing about them
E
I don't need to know a name or hear them speak

D
You cracked a joke about a mid–life crisis
E
But realistically I'm already half way gone
D
My eyes are wet when I'm watching the telly
E
I'm completely sober and I'm not even sure what's on

D
I think it's time I started branching out
E
And work out when it's right to keep my mouth shut
D
I think it's time I started staying in
E
And stop pretending that I'm just another slut

D
It took a while to see the uniform
E
And I kept on looking while everyone else stared
D
Then I thought I saw her in the queue
E                                             D
And I'm still angry she thought I thought she cared
