INTRO:
A5 - G#5 - F#5 - E5 - D5

VERSE 1:
A
Baby says I'm tearing her down
D
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
A
And baby says,
                          D
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
                A
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
     D
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
A
And baby says,
                                D
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,

CHORUS:
A       E            F#m          D        E            A
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
          E                  F#m
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
        D                       E
And you don't give a fuck about -  me
       D
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
A                F#m
And I knew you'd never stay forever
D                    Dm
Holding it together, making songs for me
A                  F#m
And all right, forever's on your side
D                       Dm
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

REPEAT INTRO:
A5 - G#5 - F#5 - E5 - D5

VERSE 2:
A
And baby says, "This house was a home
     D
It's worn and it's torn
And it holds only your ghost."
A
And baby says,
                             D
"Baby you're cursed, oh why can't you see?"
              A
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new head
D
Clear without fears and it knows only your name
A
And baby says,
                           D
"Baby you're right but you'll never win."
And my baby says,

CHORUS:
A       E            F#m          D        E            A
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
          E                  F#m
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
        D                       E
And you don't give a fuck about -  me
       D
And I do believe that you hate yourself"
A                F#m
And I knew you'd never stay forever
D                    Dm
Holding it together, making songs for me
A                  F#m
And all right, forever's on your side

Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

And all right, forever's on your side
D                       Dm
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

(I know you know, I know you know)"
