Intro :  C5

             C5
God this is hard you've had no sleep, you thought of nothing else for weeks
       A5                                   G5
You begin your lines, and fumble with your purse
 C5                                                  
It's been eating you and you don't know what to do  
          A5                G5 
And your lie, only made it worse

             F5                 C5                  F5                 C5
You can't expect him to understand,  he's not a saint, he's just a man
         A5                                  G5
And you know, that you can't change what he did
        F5          C5                    F5            C5    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th,  
       A5                       G5                   C5 
As it is,  all that you could ask,  all this will pass

 C5                                                          
God, you wish like hell,  you hadn t done it and you tell  
   A5                    G5 
Him ,    how much you regret it
            C5                                                      
But you're talking to yourself,  you're as lonely and as desperate 
      A5                               G5 
As a kettle boiling, with no there to get it

         F5                  C5                F5               C5    
All the words you meant to say, hang in the air then float away 
     A5                             G5              
And vanish into the end of a dying day
        F5          C5                    F5            C5    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th,  
       A5                       G5                   C5 
As it is,  all that you could ask,  all this will pass

[Don t lie,   ah ah ah]

       F5                 C5             F5                 C5    
And if only you hadn't stayed, and if only you'd been delayed 
           A5                               G5
And it s funny what a difference a minute makes                          
        F5          C5                    F5            C5    
But if you had 40 lives,  you d get it right by the 39th  
       A5                       G5                   C5 
As it is,  all that you could ask,  all this will pass
