Verse 1:
Em
Trying to create something
C
that's not there
Em
B spark I saw as a bomb is
G/B C B/D#
just a means to an end
Em
And I was just so happy
C
to be out of my shell again
Em
don't think that I really
G/B
cared for who or what
C
So for now I'll just
B/D#
have to keep it shut
Refrain:
Em
If you're not ready
C
you're not ready
Em G/B
Please stop acting
B/D#
like you are
Chorus:
Em C
How could I know
Am
that everything you say
are lies about
B
devotion and desire?
Em C
And I know the spark
Am
inside your eyes
was just the match I
B
used to set myself on fire
Post Chorus: Dm(hold)
Verse 2:
Em
My mouth's shooting blanks
C
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable
Em G/B
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
C
My temple's been invaded
B/D#
and there's nobody guarding it
Em C
All over this lonely life
Em
but what's so wrong
G/B
with being all alone?
C
Alone is the only way
B/D#
I've ever known
(Repeat Refrain)
