Intro
D5 - C#5 - B5 - A5 - G5
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 Bm G A D
"It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why
A Bm
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 Bm
And I knew you'd never stay forever
G Gm
Holding it together, making songs for me
D Bm
And all right, forever's on your side
G Gm
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
