[Intro]
  G    Em    Bm(x2)
[Verse 1]
I Gcrept along Emto the water's Bmedge
GCareless, enigEmmatic, like you Bmwant
It'Gs not my fault that EmI am so eBmnthused
GOblivious to Emall that's bad in Bmyou
GOohEm...Bm  
[Verse 2]
I Gwant to run Emaway but I am lBmame
And you Gmake me fear that EmI won't speak aBmgain
'Cause the Gwords I use are Emfalse and incBmorrect
So GI sit upon the Embank and hang my Bmhead
[Chorus]
DI've seen better, I've seen Emworse
It creeps into your Bmhead
It's kind of like a Dcurse you can not break
Until you coGnfess everything you fEmeel
                   D(let it ring out)
And show the whole world
That inside your D7head is a big, big Gmess
OohEm...Bm  
[Verse 3]
My Geyes are fixed to Emyou like punishmenBmt
And you Gimmerse yourself in Emgood deeBmds
Until you Gscrutinised eEmvery single Bmword
I tried for Gmonths to forget Emwhat I had heBmard
[Chorus]
DAnd I've seen better, I've seen Emworse
It creeps into your hBmead
It's kind of like a Dcurse you can not break
Until you cGonfess everything you fEmeel
And show the whole Dworld
That inside your hD7ead is a big, big Gmess
OohEm...Bm  
  GOEmoh..Bm.
[Bridge]
And I Amwon't back Ddown from all the Gthings Dwe Emdid
I won't let Amtime rob Dme of all my GmeDmoEmries
'Em7Cause it's Amwinter hDere and I can Gfeel Dyou Embreathe
Em7Even Amthough you Dare a million Gmiles Dfrom EmmeEm7  
CWe won't get far Cmuntil
[Chorus]
Until we coGnfess everything we Emfeel
And show the whole Dworld what's inside of our hD7eads
Until we cGonfess everything we Emfeel
And show the whole Dworld what's inside of our D7heads
Until we conGfess everything we fEmeel
And show the whole wDorld what's inside of our D7heads
Until we conGfess everything we fEmeel
And show the whole Dworld
That inside our hD7eads is a big, big Gmess
