Intro
G5 - F#5 - E5 - D5 - C5
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 Em C D G
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
D Em
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 Em
And I knew you'd never stay forever
C Cm
Holding it together, making songs for me
G Em
And all right, forever's on your side
C Cm
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

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