Capo 2nd fret
 Bm2x
BmI read it Gall, every Dword, and I Emstill don't understand a thing
GWhat had you DheaEmrd ?
BmWhat had you Gheard, was it Dlove, was it Emtake another walk in the dark ?
GYou'll never DleaEmrn
DI'd pray to god if there was Asus4heaven, Abut Emheaven seems so very far Gfrom here
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old thing
Just a Gyin and a Dyang or a Emcouple of pipe dreams
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old pain
Whether you Gwin or you Dlose isn't gonna Emchange a single thinGg
BmI stood in Gline and a Dthought crossed my Emmind, I had been dreaming
GBut I didn't DmiEmnd
BmI signed the Gline and the Dwoman looked right Emthrough me
GShe didn't DsmiEmle
DI'd pray to god if there was Asus4heaven, Abut Emheaven seems so very far Gfrom here
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old thing
Just a Gyin and a Dyang or a Emcouple of pipe dreams
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old pain
Whether you Gwin or you Dlose isn't gonna Emchange a single thinGg

DI'd pray to god if there was Asus4heaven, Abut Emheaven seems so very far Gfrom here
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old thing
Just a Gyin and a Dyang or a Emcouple of pints, please
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old pain
Whether you Gwin or you Dlose isn't gonna Emchange a single thing
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old fear
Just a Glink in a Dchain, just a Empuppet on a string
And it Gall boils Ddown to the Emsame old fear
Whether you Gwin or you DloEmse
Whether you Gwin or you DloEmse
Whether you Gwin or you DloEmse
Whether you Gwin or you Dlose
