Enjoy!
Capo 3
C/GShe said the sleepers on the tracks have Fwoken up
It's C/Gthe end of the line I guess our G7luck is up
C/GIt was fun while it lasted because nFothing ever does
C/GLove has lost it's G7meaning it was Fwasted on uC/Gs
In the electrical storm you were running wild
You had a death wish you were a child
I came to baring a lightning bolt
If you came back as the deep sea I would come back as the salt
Bridge
FIt's like your head is stuck in a G7tightening vice
Your Emears are deaf to your Amfriend's advice
FBecause you know that your heart will G7never be full
It Emdoesn't always have to be AmbeautifFul, UAmnless it's beaG7utifUuulC/G  
Ok leave now leave now if you just can't stay
'Cause theres nothing worse than somebody who prentended away
The years of their youth they will never get back
So I'll go home and practice the traits you said I lack
Like listening to the thunder of your heart
and how that every other beat we grow further apart
Love was always gonna be hard to give up
But I’m thinking that you’ll never love anybody else as much
Bridge
But it's ugly it's ugly now, yeah I know
But you never give things enough time to grow
It's like driving through a carnival
It doesn't always have to be beautiful, Unless it's beautifUuul
C/GBaby I know it's over, Emtell me, till your sober Amnow, we know it's true 
But Fwaitin never quite felt like waitin when G7waitin was with you
C/GBaby I know it's over, Emtell me, till your sober Amnow, we know it's true
                                            F                G7  F-G7- C/G  
But waitin never quite felt like waitin when waitin was with you
So let me tell you tell you a thing or two
About how to survive when there's a me and a you
It's awful it's gruesome it's something it's cruel
Forever you will ask out if it's happened to you
Because I'm always thinking thinking about where you are
Who your with and if your mind is far
From what we do and we're alone
It's all too much for me and now the wall hits the foam
It's like a head is stuck in a tightning vice
Your ears are deaf to your friend's advice
Because you know that your heart will never be full
It doesn't always have to be beautiful, Unless it's beautifUuul
Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true 
But waitin never quite felt like waitin when waitin was with you
Baby I know it's over, tell me, till your sober now, we know it's true
But waitin never quite felt like waitin when waitin was with you
