[Verse]
FMy head's a TVBb  
And you're on every channelBb  
Did no one ever tell you bout the dirty truth?C  
We're all a bit mentalF  
So write your historyBb  
As a pretty little work of fictionBb  
So many bones rattle in the coffin of your youthC  
We'll exhume a fable
[Pre-chorus]
GmYou can, you can, you can shut your mouth
DmYou can, you can, you can shut your mouth
F'Cause everybody's fighting battles
That you dAmon't know anything about
GmCome on, come on, take a look in my house
DmEvery time I touch the piano I'm just full of doubts
FJust another bit of secrecy
[Chorus]
Every tBbime you feel like giving Fup
Every tBbime you'd swear you'd had eFnough
Just remBbember what you're dreaming Dmof
But when you Fdo it, you Cdo it for the lBbove
Yeah when you Fdo it, you Cdo it for the love
[Interlude]

[Verse]
FThis old sweaterBb  
Holds a trace of the bonfireBb  
We threw your teenage diaries on to the flamesC  
Too sad to rememberF  
A patient memoryBb  
And a single neon tearBb  
Watch it dance like grass in a hurricaneC  
Through another year
[Pre-chorus]
GmI tried to hide my feelings for too long
DmI just wanted everyone to get along
F'Cause everybody's fight battles
AmUnderneath another thunderstorm
GmCome on, come on don't you wanna be heard
DmYour saviour's just somebody who's been under-researched
FJust another bit of secrecy
[Chorus]
Every tBbime you feel like giving Fup
Every tBbime you'd swear you'd had eFnough
Just remBbember what you're dreaming Dmof
But when you Fdo it, you Cdo it for the lBbove

Yeah when you do it, you do it for the love
When you Fdo it, you Cdo it for the lBbove
Yeah when you Fdo it, may as well Cdo it for the lFove

[Verse]

F Bb

My head's a TV

And you're on every channel

Did no one ever tell you bout the dirty truth?

We're all a bit mental

So write your history

As a pretty little work of fiction

So many bones rattle in the coffin of your youth

We'll exhume a fable

[Pre-chorus]

You can, you can, you can shut your mouth

'Cause everybody's fighting battles

That you don't know anything about

Come on, come on, take a look in my house

Every time I touch the piano I'm just full of doubts

Just another bit of secrecy

[Chorus]

Bb F

Every time you feel like giving up

Bb F

Every time you'd swear you'd had enough

Bb Dm

Just remember what you're dreaming of

F C Bb

But when you do it, you do it for the love

F C

Yeah when you do it, you do it for the love

This old sweater

Holds a trace of the bonfire

We threw your teenage diaries on to the flames

Too sad to remember

A patient memory

And a single neon tear

Watch it dance like grass in a hurricane

Through another year

[Pre-chorus]

I tried to hide my feelings for too long

I just wanted everyone to get along

'Cause everybody's fight battles

Underneath another thunderstorm

Come on, come on don't you wanna be heard

Your saviour's just somebody who's been under-researched

Just another bit of secrecy

[Chorus]

Bb F

Every time you feel like giving up

Every time you'd swear you'd had enough

Bb Dm

Just remember what you're dreaming of

But when you do it, you do it for the love

Yeah when you do it, you do it for the love
