Sometimes I Gsay things I don't mean
Like it D/F#all feels like a dream
It's like Emsomeday I'll get caught
Like this is Csomeone I am not
I just open my Gmouth and the words come out
They never say what I D/F#mean cause they don't know about
                Em-                    D           C  D/F#  
How the lights blow out or how I should stay down
Cause I gotta belieGve I didn't do it to myD/F#self this time
   Em7You didn't leave and I was D/F#always right
Cause CI would never be that Dblind
And definiteGly I need to slam the door to D/F#end the fight
   Em7Never ever wanna D/F#say goodbye
Cause CI just don't get that tongue D/F#tied, or do I?
 G-  D/F#-  C-  Em7- D  
I know the Gwords don't mean a lot
I get D/F#scared when it's all I got
Like the Embest of me is gone
And you're just Cfine and holding on
But in the way that you Gsmile when you look straight through
I know the things I D/F#say and what I put you through
I think that it Emjust may be your stylDe
To be the Csmile that makes me smile
     C-  Em-               G  D  
And I,       I just want to let you know that
CTime is Emon our Dside
Cause I gotta belieGve I didn't do it to myD/F#self this time
   Em7You didn't leave and I was D/F#always right
Cause CI would never be that Dblind
And definiteGly I need to slam the door to D/F#end the fight
   Em7Never ever wanna D/F#say goodbye
Cause CI just don't get that tongue D/F#tied, or do I?
AmMaybe I'll get better, I'll start to Dsay the things I mean
Instead of Ghiding behind D/F#words that only Cadd9make us weD/F#ak
Oh Cmaybe you can see just who I want to Cmbe
Cause I gotta belieGve I didn't do it to myD/F#self this time
   Em7You didn't leave and I was D/F#always right
Cause CI would never be that Dblind
And definiteGly I need to slam the door to D/F#end the fight
