Verse 1:
 Em7   G   Cadd9x 4
Heart holds mouth to words
Said it's gone beyond the line this time
Eyes twitch close
Numb the lights turned out I'm out
The cold is
in my bones
Said it's gone beyond the line this time
Shake a little off the deep end and
Tell me when it's over now and
Chorus:
 D   Em7   Cadd9x 3
D Cadd9 Em7
I hate you then
explode and make up
I threw it in the yard
burned it in an ashtray and
I well I don't need you
even though it's all made up
put it in your box and put it
Verse 2:
 Em7   G   Cadd9x 2
 A7Sus4   GF6sus2 Cadd9  
Em7 G Cadd9
Show me how you been
Said it's been so long, I don't recall
Used to be this way
That's the way it always seems to go
Tired and walked away
Said it's far when you don't have a place to go
Where'd you go
Tell me where am I supposed to go and
Chorus:
 D   Em7   Cadd9x 3
D Cadd9 Em7
Well I hate you then
explode and make up
Threw it in the yard
Burned it in an ashtray and I
Well I don't need you
Even though it's all made up
Put it in your box and put it
Solo:
 Em7   G   Cadd9x 2
 A7Sus4   GF6sus2 Cadd9  
Em7 G Cadd9
 D   Em7   Cadd9x 3
D Cadd9 Em7
Verse 3:
 Em7   G   Cadd9x 2
 A7Sus4   GF6sus2 Cadd9  
Em7 G Cadd9
Here we go, here we go again
There you go, there you go again
As the years they go slowly bye and bye goodbye
After you, lead the way, oh oh
Chorus:
 D   Em7   Cadd9x 3
D Cadd9 Em7
I hate you then
explode and make up
I threw it in the yard
I burned it in an ashtray
And I don't need you
even though it's all made up
Cadd9 D Em7
Put it, put it, put it, put it, put it…put it… Ooooo ahhhhhh…
Chorus:
 D   Em7   Cadd9x 3
D Cadd9 Em7
