[Verse 1]
  GSame city, yeah, we can't break up
  CNice mask on, I wore the same one
  GThe greatest trick that the devil ever pulled
Was conCvincing women that they looked better in their makeup
  GI wear war paint, fight to the casket
  CToo tired to apologize on this mattress
EGmotional detachment - what's the matter?
      N.C.                                      D  
She's learning that she never should have dated a rapper
GI don't blame her, my mind is gone
I'm at Gdinner, checking phone calls, Dtexts and blogs
GI don't hear a word, I know nothing at all
Just conGcerned about the world memoDrizing these sCongs
                                              C              DN.C.
Goes on and on, don't wanna break you, but I'm leading you on    ohohoh, ohohohon
And now it's gone

You are the love of my lCife
You were the love of my lGife
This time we know we kCnow
It's ovGerC,  GovCer
[Bridge]
  GDidn't believe in love until we fell out
  CGave the keys back, now I'm on the homie's couch
  GAlways going out, sleeping 'round with strangers
  CDanger! But you can't live without her
  GNow you're paranoid, checking on her cellphone
  CMaking sure she ain't like you alone
  GHaven't made love with the lights still on
     N.C.                         D  
It's like you're hiding something from me
[Verse 2]
Let's Gfake another toast to the good life
Predict the Cfuture, clean slate, blue sky
FantaGsy of me husband and you wife
Lyin', staCring into those two eyes
And I can't Gtake it, back to where we came from
My pavement, Cpast the emotional earthquake foundation
GYeah, let's keep swimming in the snake pit
             N.C.                             D  
Get bit, get out then jump back into the suffocation
GMake up and fuck to save us like we got this
CCome on, this is just us baby
And this is just a Gfight, this is just love - maybe
Is it just Cyou or am I fucking crazy?
I swear to GGod, I wish that I could Photoshop the scars off
  GCold world and gettin' my heart thawed
And I Gsaid it all and never get lock jaw
Mouth is a Gsawed off shotgun at any second could pop off
  EmHow does the truth taste?
My job comes Emwith a complimentary toothpaste
Lately, I've Embeen living up out of my suitcase
Building Emtrust in that I'm leaving on Tuesday
Bought a Gone night stand, just a bootleg
A dupliGcation of something authentic
Heart augGmented, and it's so hard to end it
I said Gpeace before but this time I meant it
[Instrumental]

G C
[Bridge]
Can't get her Gout of my head
This Cplace is a mess
Holding Gonto cobwebs
That has us Cboth on the fence
She walks that Gthin line
In and Cout of my bed
Each tGime I love her lCess
Can't get her oGut of my head
This Cplace is a mess
Holding Gonto cobwebs
That has us Cboth on the fence
She walks that Gthin line
In and Cout of my bed
Each tGime I love her lCess

And Gon, on and on, and on we go
And Con, on and on, and on we go
We Glove what we had, but now it's gone

[Intro]

G C

[Chorus]

And on, on and on, and on we go

We love what we had, but now it's gone

C G C

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

G C

Alive

[Verse 1]

Same city, yeah, we can't break up

Nice mask on, I wore the same one

The greatest trick that the devil ever pulled

Was convincing women that they looked better in their makeup

I wear war paint, fight to the casket

Too tired to apologize on this mattress

Emotional detachment - what's the matter?

N.C.

She's learning that she never should have dated a rapper

I don't blame her, my mind is gone

G D

I'm at dinner, checking phone calls, texts and blogs

I don't hear a word, I know nothing at all

G D C

Just concerned about the world memorizing these songs

C D

N.C.

Goes on and on, don't wanna break you, but I'm leading you on ohohoh, ohohohon

And now it's gone

[Chorus]

And on, on and on, and on we go

We love what we had, but now it's gone

C G C

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

G C

Alive

[Hook]

You are the love of my life

You were the love of my life

This time we know we know

G C G C

It's over, over

[Bridge]

Didn't believe in love until we fell out

Gave the keys back, now I'm on the homie's couch

Always going out, sleeping 'round with strangers

Danger! But you can't live without her

Now you're paranoid, checking on her cellphone

Making sure she ain't like you alone

Haven't made love with the lights still on

N.C.

It's like you're hiding something from me

[Verse 2]

Let's fake another toast to the good life

Predict the future, clean slate, blue sky

Fantasy of me husband and you wife

Lyin', staring into those two eyes

And I can't take it, back to where we came from

My pavement, past the emotional earthquake foundation

Yeah, let's keep swimming in the snake pit

N.C.

Get bit, get out then jump back into the suffocation

Make up and fuck to save us like we got this

Come on, this is just us baby

And this is just a fight, this is just love - maybe

Is it just you or am I fucking crazy?

I swear to God, I wish that I could Photoshop the scars off

Cold world and gettin' my heart thawed

And I said it all and never get lock jaw

Mouth is a sawed off shotgun at any second could pop off

How does the truth taste?

My job comes with a complimentary toothpaste

Lately, I've been living up out of my suitcase

Building trust in that I'm leaving on Tuesday

Bought a one night stand, just a bootleg

A duplication of something authentic

Heart augmented, and it's so hard to end it

I said peace before but this time I meant it

[Instrumental]

G C

[Bridge]

Can't get her out of my head

This place is a mess

Holding onto cobwebs

That has us both on the fence

She walks that thin line

In and out of my bed

G C

Each time I love her less

Can't get her out of my head

This place is a mess

Holding onto cobwebs

That has us both on the fence

She walks that thin line

In and out of my bed

G C

Each time I love her less

[Chorus]

And on, on and on, and on we go

We love what we had, but now it's gone

C G C

Let's leave before we eat each other alive

G C

Alive

[Hook]

You are the love of my life

You were the love of my life

This time we know we know

N.C.

It's over
