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

Bridge:
D#m A#/D
Now pleading this kills

it still bleeding
A#/D D#m
My darling I'm taking
A#/D Cb
my life back to
A/C#-- (hold)
start healing
(Repeat Chorus)
