Dm Bb

If I'm the first to go

Then make it quick

(Then make it quick)

Then make it quick

We're so young, so naive

[x2]

It's all for nothing, nothing at all

Liars can't be martyrs, don't you know?

Let me give it to your plain and simple

You walk a fine line, you walk a fine line

You speak of change, you speak of progress

Well I'll believe it when I see it for myself

Let me spell it out a little more clearly

You walk a fine line, you walk a fine line.

Can't you see the irony in

what you do to me?

You get so close (so close)

And make me feel so terribly alone..

[x2]

It's safe to say that we're heading to the crossroads.

We are the galleries of the centuries.

If you knew the truth, it really would've killed you.

If you knew the truth, if you only knew.

We've been caught up in the moment,

And our beds are crowded where we sleep.

I hate to say it but we're never making progress.

I hate to say it, I hate to say it.

Can't you see the irony in

what you do to me?

You get so close (so close)

And make me feel so terribly alone..
