Dm6/F

Asus4

[Verse]

with your face turned to the bedroom-lamp,

D7/F#

you're sleeping

Dm6/F E

it's light a cheap replacement for the sun

Am D7/F#

and the pouring water in the pipes around us

Dm6/F E

just like waves rolling to the shore

this is what you get

D7/F#

this is what you get

Dm6/F E

the plan's much bigger than you ever expected

[Chorus]

C G Am

but no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect

C E Am

as you stand there with your head in a million pieces

Asus4 Am

and you know it's gonna be...

[Verse]

Am D7/F# Dm6/F

and every dream draws a picture of what you've seen

mixed with what you want

Am D7/F#

so you'll think of me like I think of you,

Dm6/F E

like a substitute for something

and then you'll laugh and say:

D7/F#

"I'm probably better off dead,

Dm6/F

I'm probably dry all the way,

I'm probably boring you out

Am D7/F#

I'm probably locking you up, throwing the keys away

Dm6/F E

I'm probably the last thing you need on your mind.

I'm probably drunk by now

D7/F#

probably laughing my head off

Dm6/F E

without even noticing..."

[Chorus]

C G Am

But no one's gonna tell you you're not perfect

C E Am

as you lay there with your head in a million pieces

C G Am

no, no one's gonna tell you it's not worth it

C E Am

when you know it's gonna be

Asus4 Am
