Intro
E5 - D#5 - C#5 - B5 - A5
VERSE 1:
E
Baby says I'm tearing her down
A
Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly
E
And baby says,
A
"Baby, your kiss don't do anything"
E
Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart
A
It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden
E
And baby says,
A
"Baby you're right, but that's no excuse"
And my baby says,
CHORUS:
E B C#m A B E
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
B C#m
You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak
A B
And you don't give a fuck about - me
A
And I do believe that you hate yourself."
E C#m
And I knew you'd never stay forever
A Am
Holding it together, making songs for me
E C#m
And all right, forever's on your side
A Am
Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.

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

Clear without fears and it knows only your name
