Verse 2 (The same chords as verse 1)
Those that we admired
All stood their ground and cried
I didn't start the fire
I just tried to see your eyes
It cannot go unsaid I only want
To know I think it's all going to work out fine
Chorus         (same chords)      
We're better off alone     
Than lying to ourselves
I don't care what you've said
I don't care what I know
Don't say its all been a waste of time
