Intro
F5 - E5 - D5 - C5 - A#5
VERSE 1:
F
Baby says I'm tearing her down
A#
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
F
And baby says,
A#
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
F
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
A#
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
F
And baby says,
A#
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
F C Dm A# C F
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
C Dm
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
A# C
And you don't give a fuck about - me
A#
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
F Dm
And I knew you'd never stay forever
A# A#m
Holding it together, making songs for me
F Dm
And all right, forever's on your side
A# A#m
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

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

Clear without fears and it knows only your name
