No capo
Intro
C#m A B A
I don't want to C#mtalk
Cos it will only hurt Amore
I don't want to C#mbring it up again 
Cos it hurt like F#hell bAefore
You know me too C#mwell
You make my Ehead spin and I'll Ajust say something wrong
You pull me out of my C#mshell
And then Bhate me when I'm doneA  
But if the Brain keeps falling
And you can't see the tears in my Aeyes
They say the Bnight is daunting
But we all need somewhere to AhiEiiF#miide
So it could be C#mbetter if I kEept it to Amyself
It could be C#mbetter if I lEeft it on the sAhelf
BBefore I go and say something I don't Amean
It could be C#mbetter if I kEept it to myselAf
Let's wipe the sC#mlate clean
And I'll bottle it up aAgain
It's just how I've always beenC#m  
Even withAout you
Cos if the Brain stops falling
And you start to see the tears in my Aeyes
And if the Bnight stops calling
And we won't have somewhere to AhiG#miiiiF#mde
So it could be C#mbetter if I kEept it to Amyself
It could be C#mbetter if I lEeft it on the sAhelf
BBefore I go and say something I don't Amean
It could be C#mbetter if I kEept it to myselAf
I'd rather Aforget than have to F#mforgive
I'd rather C#mlose it than live with this mBemory
Don't want to Aaccept the things that you F#mdid
I try not to C#mshow it but you know it hBurts me
I'd rather Aforget than have to F#mforgive
I'd rather C#mlose it than live with this mBemory
Don't want to Aaccept the things that you F#mdid
Cos you know it C#mhurts me, yeahB  
ABefore I go and say something I don't C#mmeanB  
ABefore I go and say something I don't C#mmeanB  
So it could be C#mbetter if I kEept it to Amyself
It could be C#mbetter if I lEeft it on the sAhelf
BBefore I go and say something I don't Amean
