Capo 5:
G D Am Cadd9 X4 (first two times palm muted)
Verse 1: 
G (hold)        D (hold) 
Thinking of our final words,
Em (hold)        Cadd9 (hold)
And memories now in the past.
G (hold)              D (hold)
Just like a play with no beginning,
 Em(strum)          Cadd9  
Our ending went by way too fast
Cause Ghe was a time bomb,and Dshe was the fuse,
The Emresulting explosion would Cadd9daze and confuse.
GTheir problems began to Dpile up,
EmThey loved,they fought,and Cadd9they broke up
GThey've seen it all DbeforeEm  Cadd9  
Chorus:
GThey're tired,D  
EmThey've played this game for so Cadd9long
NGot liarDs, Their Emtruths were not Cadd9as strong
Verse 2: 
G (Hold)      D  (Hold) 
Trying now to understand,
And Empush it back Cadd9into my mind.
GI'll move on, I will Dnot slow down,
To Emdwell on you would Cadd9waste my time.
GCause she was so fragile,and Dhe was immune.
The Emcourtship of error Cadd9began too soon. 
They Gbroke the track, so Dhard to say. 
They Emscreamed, they yelled, they Cadd9dug their graves. 
GThey've Dseen it all Embefore. Cadd9  
GThey've Dseen, they've Emseen it all Cadd9before.
Chorus:
GThey're tired,D  
EmThey've played this game for so Cadd9long
NGot liarDs, Their Emtruths were not Cadd9as strong
GExpireDd, more Emtime cannot be Cadd9found.
They're GchasinDg a Emsunset that never goes Cadd9down.
Bridge:

They're chasing. They're chasing. They've seen it all before.
They're Gfalling. They're Dfalling. EmFalling on the Cadd9floor. WGhoa!D  Em  Cadd9
