[Verse 1]
Emaj7 D#7
I stood with my hands open wide
G#m C#7
Waiting for a sign from your dead eyes
C#m7
And you stood there
D#7
With your mournful sighs
G#m C#7
Ignoring my, my voice asking why, why
Emaj7 D#7 G#m
It took a week for you to speak while I was screaming
C#7
I needed to see eye to eye
C#m7 D#7 G#m
They said to follow waiting for a crumb but hungry tastes like numb
C#7
I was tired
C#7 C#7
I'm not done
[Chorus]
C#m7 D#7
And you're so good at acting so good
G#m C#7
Making sure I'd fall
Emaj7
Blame it on time
D#7
Blame it on alcohol
G#m
Blame the new social trends
C#7
Tell me all good things end
C#m7
Say it's your heart
D#7
How it was doomed from the start
G#m
Call me your perfect girl
C#7
Cut me out of your world
Emaj7
Blame it on your life
D#7
But I
G#m G#m
Will blame it on you
[Verse 2]
Emaj7 D#7
I told myself that if I tried
G#m C#7
Harder I could buy your affection
I could try
C#m7 D#7
Rumor said if I waited that you'd come 'round soon
G#m
But the clock ticked on and you
C#7 C#7
Turned away you left no clue
[Chorus]
C#m7
You're so damn good
D#7
At acting so good
G#m C#7
Making me feel small
C#m7
Blame it on time
D#7
Blame it on alcohol
G#m
Blame the new social trends
C#7
Tell me all good things end
C#m7
Say it's your heart
D#7
How it was doomed from the start
G#m
Call me your perfect girl
C#7
Cut me out of your world
Emaj7
Blame it on your life
D#7
But I
G#m G#m
Will blame it on you
[Bridge]
Emaj7 D#7 G#m
With burned fingertips I reached for your face
Emaj7 D#7 G#m
And like a fool was met again by flames
Emaj7 D#7 G#m
My mouth rehearsed and almost said your name
C#m7 D#7
But words are just words
C#m7 D#7
Silence hurts worse
[Chorus]
C#m7
So blame it on time
D#7
Blame it on alcohol
G#m
Blame the new social trends
C#7 C#7
Tell me all good things end
C#m7
And I'll blame it on her
I'll blame it on me
D#7
I'll say I was blind I didn't see
G#m
I'll blame the age
I'll blame your past
C#7
They tell me this heartache it won't last
Emaj7
You can blame it on your life
D#7
But I
Emaj7
You can blame it on your life
D#7
But I
G#m
Will blame it on
