(at end of Pre-Chorus

[Verse 1]

And halfway home, you caught me at the station

Struck me up with quiet conversation

A5 G5 Fmaj7

It'd been months since you had set me free

Filled me in on your newfound meditation

The quiet life helped your dedication

A5 G5 Fmaj7

The dreams that you loved more than you loved me

C Gm Fmaj7 Fmaj7b5

And I do not want to be cold to you

C Gm Fmaj7b5

You left me no choice again

[Chorus]

C5 G5 F5

But, girl, you better act your age

C5 G5 F5

Or you're gonna find yourself alone some day

C5 G5 F5

Standing still in the same old place

C5 G5 F5

Looking the same way as yesterday

C5 F5

Let me let you in on a secret

C5 D5 F5

You got lies, I wish you would keep them

C5 D5 F5

Beside your cage with a broken lock

G5 Fmaj7

I'm sick of this small talk

G5 Fmaj7

I'm sick of this small talk

[Verse 2]

You cannot lie, not what I expected

to see you shake at every simple question

A5 G5 Fmaj7

I know you more than you could ever hope I would

So take me up the stairs, saw you from a distance

With a cigarette, swore that you would quit

Am G Fmaj7

And what's this? A cloud that hangs over our heads
