Intro.:  | C| C| F| F| x 2
CI'm gonna ask about your Amday
You'll just smile and look awaEmy as you Fturn the hall light out
CYou'll ask me how wAmas work
Put on an old T-Emshirt as you turn Fthe covers down
(Chorus)
GWe both kFnow that everything has changedG  
But it all still looks the same Amfrom the oGutside looking Fin
GWe both kFnow it's never gonna lasGt
This ship is sinking fastC, so we'll ride G/Bit down againAm  
And say good-Dmnight, becGause we just can't say goodbye
Solo:  | C| C| F| F| x 2
CWe both memorize ouAmr lines, said it all a thousand Emtimes
But the Ftiming's always wrong
CJust two bad actors in a Amplay, don't know how to leave the Emstage
As the Fhouse lights all come on
(Chorus)
GWe both kFnow that everything has changedG  
But it all still looks the same Amfrom the oGutside looking Fin
GWe both kFnow it's never gonna lasGt
This ship is sinking fastC, so we'll ride G/Bit down againAm  
And say good-Dmnight, becGause we just can't say goodbye
(Bridge)
EmHow many times do Fwe go down
'Til we Cfinally make it throughF  
EmOh, but something's got me Fchained and bound
To throw it Call away for youG  
CSo I'll spend one more sleepless nigFht
Pretend that everything's alEmright 'til the Fday begins again
(Chorus)
GWe both kFnow that everything has changedG  
But it all still looks the same Amfrom the oGutside looking Fin
GWe both kFnow it's never gonna lasGt
This ship is sinking fastC, so we'll ride G/Bit down againAm  
And say good-Dmnight, becGause we just can't say goodbye
