Intro
F#5 - F5 - D#5 - C#5 - B5
VERSE 1:
F#
Baby says I'm tearing her down
B
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
F#
And baby says,
B
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
F#
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
B
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
F#
And baby says,
B
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
F# C# D#m B C# F#
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
C# D#m
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
B C#
And you don't give a fuck about - me
B
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
F# D#m
And I knew you'd never stay forever
B Bm
Holding it together, making songs for me
F# D#m
And all right, forever's on your side
B Bm
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

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