[Intro]
Am G F Dm
[Verse]
Am
The night gave you song
G
A light had been turned on
F
You walked out in the world
Dm
Like you belong there
Am
As easy as a breeze
G
Each heart was yours to please
F
Is it only me who sees
Dm
There’s something wrong there
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Oh la la,
G
I’m not a ghost now
F
I can see you
Dm
You need to see me
[Chorus]
C G
It’s the little things that give you away
F
The words you cannot say
Dm
Your big mouth in the way
[Verse]
Am
I saw you on the stairs
G
You didn’t notice I was there
F
That’s ‘cause you were talking at me
Dm
And not to me
Am
You were high above the storm
G
A hurricane being born
F
This freedom
Dm
It might cost you your liberty
[Chorus]
C G
It’s the little things that give you away
F
The words you cannot say
Dm
Your big mouth in the way
C G
It’s the little things that tease and betray
F
As the hunted I become the prey
It’s the little things
Dm Am
The little things that give you away
Am
[Outro]
C
Sometimes
G
I can’t believe my existence
F
See myself from a distance
Dm
I can’t get back inside
C
Sometimes
G
The air is so anxious
F
All my thoughts are so reckless
Dm
And all of my innocence has died
C
Sometimes
G
I wake at four in the morning
F
Where all the darkness is swarming
Dm
And it covers me in fear
C G F Dm
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
C
Sometimes
G
I'm full of anger and grieving
F
So far away from believing
Dm
That any song will reappear
C
Sometimes
G
The end is not coming
F
It’s not coming
Dm
The end is here
C G F Dm
Sometimes
C G F Dm
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
C
Sometimes
G
when the painted glass shatters
F
And you’re the only thing matters
Dm
But I can’t see you through the tears
C
Sometimes
G
The end isn’t coming
F
It’s not coming
Dm
The end is here
C
Sometimes
