[Verse 1]
FSomething in the middle of the side of the store
FGot your attention when you Gask for more
FI was excited to be part of your world
FTo belong, to be lost, to be Gmostly the two of us
FSomething I was stealing for no reason at all
FThey hang me higher than a dGisco Cball
CBut you talked them into letting me Amgo
        N.C.
It's no Picasso, Michelangelo
FSomething 'bout the jewels you wear
FShiny shiny bangles Gon your wrists
FAnd at the Masquerade ball
FYou feel trapped in a vault, in an eGmpty aquarium
FIf suddenly you're out of the woods
FThen inside of an Galley you're out of wordsC  
CWell I thought it was Amradium at fGirst
[Chorus]
     FJGust because of yFou
These Gthings I have to Fgo through
GIs it so Cbad? Is it so Amtrue?
GIs it still Fyou?
GJust because of Fyou
These Gthings I have to Fgo through
It's Gmore than that, we're cChained
CAnd there's no one else to Amblame
AmFor us two
[Verse 2]
FSome things they don't matter till they matter to you
FThey stole that money from a Ghomeless girl
FThe truth is we're all to blame
FThere are lies and moral cGonsequences
FWe started at the end of the line
FTo end up giving Gup to a couple, who Ccares?
CWhen you talked me into letting you Amgo
AmNo more coral on the atoll
FSomething 'bout how hard you learned
FKamikaze in a Ghopeless world
FDo you remember the last time you laughed
FAnd I laughed and you lGeft and I left?
FSend me on the lonely other side of the world
FWith a couple of guGys and no alphaCbet
CPut two and two toAmgether
AmWe'll make it last forever
[Chorus]

[Intro]

F G F G F G C Am

[Verse 1]

Something in the middle of the side of the store

F G

Got your attention when you ask for more

I was excited to be part of your world

F G

To belong, to be lost, to be mostly the two of us

Something I was stealing for no reason at all

F G C

They hang me higher than a disco ball

C Am

But you talked them into letting me go

N.C.

It's no Picasso, Michelangelo

Something 'bout the jewels you wear

F G

Shiny shiny bangles on your wrists

And at the Masquerade ball

F G

You feel trapped in a vault, in an empty aquarium

If suddenly you're out of the woods

F G C

Then inside of an alley you're out of words

C Am G

Well I thought it was radium at first

[Chorus]

F G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C Am

Is it so bad? Is it so true?

G F

Is it still you?

G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C

It's more than that, we're chained

C Am

And there's no one else to blame

For us two

[Verse 2]

Some things they don't matter till they matter to you

F G

They stole that money from a homeless girl

The truth is we're all to blame

F G

There are lies and moral consequences

We started at the end of the line

F G C

To end up giving up to a couple, who cares?

C Am

When you talked me into letting you go

No more coral on the atoll

Something 'bout how hard you learned

F G

Kamikaze in a hopeless world

Do you remember the last time you laughed

F G

And I laughed and you left and I left?

Send me on the lonely other side of the world

F G C

With a couple of guys and no alphabet

C Am

Put two and two together

We'll make it last forever

[Chorus]

F G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C Am

Is it so bad? Is it so true?

G F

Is it still you?

G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C

It's more than that, we're chained

C Am

And there's no one else to blame

For us two

[Break]

Oh...

F G F G F G C G Am

[Chorus]

F G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C Am

Is it so bad? Is it so true?

G F

Is it still you?

G F

Just because of you

G F

These things I have to go through

G C

It's more than that, we're chained

C Am

And there's no one else to blame

For us two
