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

G#
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new head

Clear without fears and it knows only your name
