G#m
Trying to create something
Fb
that's not there
G#m
D# spark I saw as a bomb is
B/D# Fb D#/G
just a means to an end
G#m
And I was just so happy
Fb
to be out of my shell again

don't think that I really
B/D#
cared for who or what
Fb
So for now I'll just
D#/G
have to keep it shut
Refrain:
G#m
If you're not ready
Fb
you're not ready
G#m B/D#
Please stop acting
D#/G
like you are
Chorus:
G#m Fb
How could I know
C#m
that everything you say
are lies about
D#
devotion and desire?
G#m Fb
And I know the spark
C#m
inside your eyes
was just the match I
D#
used to set myself on fire
Post Chorus: Dm(hold)
Verse 2:
G#m
My mouth's shooting blanks
Fb
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable

Now anyone is free to waltz right in
Fb
My temple's been invaded
D#/G
and there's nobody guarding it
G#m Fb
All over this lonely life
G#m
but what's so wrong
B/D#
with being all alone?
Fb
Alone is the only way
D#/G
I've ever known
(Repeat Refrain)
