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

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