[Verse 1]

There's a time when we try

To begin what is ending

If at first you don't succeed

Then we just end up pretending

If the dream isn't real

Is the lie worth defending?

Close your eyes

Cover your ears

Shut your mouth

[Pre-Chorus]

Am F

You can act naive

C G

But I know you're not stupid

[Chorus]

Am F

You'll wake up, when I walk out

Isn't that the way it plays?

The leaver leaves, the stayer stays

Am F

You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine

Isn't it a pity?

G Am F C

I wish you were really in it for life

G Am

I wish that you were in it for life

[Verse 2]

What you give is what you get

And what you've got's now next to nothing

'Cause the life that you've accepted

Is the one that's least disruptive

Are you aware of the fact

That when I pull there's no pulling back

You have half the mind

Half the heart

Half the will

[Pre-Chorus]

Am F

You can act naive

C G

But I know you're not stupid

[Chorus]

Am F

You'll wake up, when I walk out

Isn't that the way it plays?

The leaver leaves, the stayer stays

Am F

You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine

Isn't it a pity?

G Am F C

I wish you were really in it for life

G Am

I wish that you were in it for life

[Bridge]

Am F C

Some people talk like they can't hear

G Am

Some people walk but get nowhere

F C

And when I'm done with the run, I'm going on

I'm sure I'll be

Am F

Your biggest regret

Am G

You'll never forget

[Chorus]

Am F

You'll wake up, when I walk out

Isn't that the way it plays?

The leaver leaves, the stayer stays

Am F

You wouldn't make a move, so I made mine

Isn't it a pity?

G Am F C

I wish you were really in it for life

G Am

I wish that you were in it for life
