God this is hard you've had no sleep, you thought of nothing else for weeks
       Am                                   G
You begin your lines, and fumble with your purse
 C                                                  
It's been eating you and you don't know what to do  
          Am                G 
And your lie, only made it worse

             F                 C                  F                 C
You can't expect him to understand,  he's not a saint, he's just a man
         Am                                  G
And you know, that you can't change what he did
        F          C                    F            C    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th,  
       Am                       G                   C 
As it is,  all that you could ask,  all this will pass

 C                                                          
God, you wish like hell,  you hadn t done it and you tell  
   Am                    G 
Him ,    how much you regret it
            C                                                      
But you're talking to yourself,  you're as lonely and as desperate 
      Am                               G 
As a kettle boiling, with no there to get it

         F                  C                F               C    
All the words you meant to say, hang in the air then float away 
     Am                             G              
And vanish into the end of a dying day
        F          C                    F            C    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th,  
       Am                       G                   C 
As it is,  all that you could ask,  all this will pass

[Don t lie,   ah ah ah]

       F                 C             F                 C    
And if only you hadn't stayed, and if only you'd been delayed 
           Am                               G
And it s funny what a difference a minute makes                          
        F          C                    F            C    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th  
       Am                       G                   C
