Silverstein
“The Ides of March”
Discovering the Waterfront

Intro: D

Verse 1:
Bm
   Tie me up with sheets, and hang me from your tree.
D
   I'll stay out here all night, it doesn't even matter.
Bm
   As long as I can see into your room and feel
D
   like I'm inside your life, I'll follow you forever.

Refrain:
Bm      D                A
  Don't cut me down just yet.
                        Bm 
I'll make things right again.
      D                    A 
Don't close your blinds on me, on me...

Chorus:
Bm               D
  I will never recover from this.
Em               G              Bm
  I will never believe in this again.
                   D                 Em
And I can never go back to the way I used to
     G
be before this started.

Verse 2:
Bm
  The snow won't go away, My nose runs down my face.
D
  No one sees me here, It doesn't even matter.
Bm                                            D
  And every step I take, I stay in the same place.
I can't begin to start again. Why can't I just be perfect?

[Repeat chorus 2x]

Bridge:
Bm        G                       A
(YOU!)You see my ghost and you'll never forget it
Bm       G                       A
(YOU!)My face is as white as the snow that haunts me
Bm                    G
(YOU! YOU CAN'T!)Your windows my door and

(YOU!)Sometimes betrayal can make you happy
