Intro
B5 - A#5 - G#5 - F#5 - E5
VERSE 1:
B
Baby says I'm tearing her down
E
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
B
And baby says,
E
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
B
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
E
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
B
And baby says,
E
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
B F# G#m E F# B
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
F# G#m
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
E F#
And you don't give a fuck about - me
E
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
B G#m
And I knew you'd never stay forever
E Em
Holding it together, making songs for me
B G#m
And all right, forever's on your side
E Em
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

B
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new head
E
Clear without fears and it knows only your name
