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

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

Clear without fears and it knows only your name
