Hello everyone and welcome to my endevour to keep myself sane. I'm going to submit a set
of chords to UG for a great song once or twice a week in an effort to stop myself dying
of boredom during these exam thingys. I've been playing these chords for as long as I've
played guitar (two years...) and so I know for a fact they're accurate.

<B>[VERSE 1]B>
G      Am
   Oh, life is bigger
Em
   It's bigger than you
            Am
And you are not me.
                        Em
The lengths that I will go to,
                     Am
The distance in your eyes,
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
         G
I set it up.



<B>[CHORUS]B>
                 Am
That's me in the corner,
                 Em
That's me in the spotlight
            Am
Losing my religion.
          Em
Trying to keep up with you.
      Am
And I don't know if I can do it.
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
                G
I haven't said enough.



<B>[BRIDGE]B>
  G                        F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
  Dm             G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I thought that I heard you sing.
Am F                 F   Dm G   Am
I  think I thought I saw    you try.



<B>[VERSE 2]B>
G        Am                      Em
   Every Whisper of every waking hour
                   Am
I'm choosing my confessions,
          Em
Trying to keep an eye of you
       Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
         G
I set it up.



<B>[VERSE 3]B>
         Am
Consider this, consider this,
    Em
The hint of a century,
         Am
Consider this: the slip
     Em
That brought me to my knees failed.
Am
What if all these fantasies
     Em
Come    flailing around?
         Dm       G
Now I've said too much.



<B>[BRIDGE]B>
  G                        F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
  Dm             G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I thought that I heard you sing.
Am F                 F   Dm G   Am    G
I  think I thought I saw    you try.
