Intro
A#5 - A5 - G5 - F5 - D#5
VERSE 1:
A#
Baby says I'm tearing her down
D#
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
A#
And baby says,
D#
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
A#
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
D#
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
A#
And baby says,
D#
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
A# F Gm D# F A#
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
F Gm
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
D# F
And you don't give a fuck about - me
D#
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
A# Gm
And I knew you'd never stay forever
D# D#m
Holding it together, making songs for me
A# Gm
And all right, forever's on your side
D# D#m
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

It's worn and it's torn
And it holds only your ghost."

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

And baby says,
D#
"Baby you're right but you'll never win."
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
