Standard Tuning - CAPO 2
[Alex]
C                     G
Falling on my face again
                         F
So I know I'm right on track
                              G
It's hard for me to make amends
                               C
When you stabbed me in the back
C             G
Sailing on to another sorry shore
C                          G
Talking shit, say I'm your filthy little, filthy little
Am                    F                             Dm
Like I just happen to be in the right place, right time
                 F
She settled down
[Chorus]
C             G                     F
I earned my place with the tidal waves
                       F
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
C             G                     F
I caught my name as I crashed the gates
                            F
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Dm                                  G
Why don't you think before you speak?
                           C F
Cause you don't know me at all   
                           C F
Cause you don't know me at all
[Mark]
C                        G
Tell me how you really feel
                          F
Write it on the bathroom wall
                           G
That film your one was watching
                             C
I know you'd say nothing at all
C                                              G
Treading water, yeah, you're angry and you're bored
C                                   G
But I'm sick of this, I'm just your filthy little, filthy little
Am                    F                             Dm
Like I just happen to be in the right place, right time
                          F
Oh, would you settle down?
[Chorus]
C             G                     F
I earned my place with the tidal waves
                       F
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
C             G                     F
I caught my name as I crashed the gates
                            F
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Dm                                  G
Why don't you think before you speak?
                             Em
Cause you don't know me at all  
[Alex]
              F            C
Spread your lies like fireflies
                G                         Em
In a wild hot summer trying to pull me under
               F                     C
You shot the words, they hurt like knives
                     G                         C
When you lose your color, there'll be nothing left
[Chorus]
C             G                     F
I earned my place with the tidal waves
                       F
I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
C             G                     F
I caught my name as I crashed the gates
                            F
Still I can't escape this feeling that something ain't right
Dm                                  G
Why don't you think before you speak?
                      C  F
You don't know me at all   
                      C  F
You don't know me at all
                      C  F
You don't know me at all 
                      C
                       (let ring)
You don't know me at all
