Intro
E
Your self destruction has become mine
E
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
C#m
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
C#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Intro 2]
E F#
You're too late to decide
G#m
This can't go right
F#
Cause I've got this tonight
I've got this tonight
[Verse 1]
E
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
F#
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
G#m
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
F#
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
E
I need to say this (what you waited for)
F#
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
G#m
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
F#
But I swore that this time
E
I was more than your hook up
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
E F#
To see your words under my skin
G#m F# G#m E
And I am more than a moment
E C#m
But I had to give in
G#m F# G#m
B person gets just one chance
E F#
To say what they really mean
G#m F# G#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
E C#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
C#m
The best years have passed you by
C#m
The best years have already passed
C#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
C#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Verse 2]
E
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
F#
Together from this town (we can work this out)
G#m
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
F#
To let his guard down (I said everything)
E
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
F#
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
G#m
From underneath my feet
F# Emaj7
I thought we were floating
[Chorus]
G#m F# G#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
E F#
To see your words under my skin
G#m F# G#m E
And I am more than a moment
E C#m
But I had to give in
G#m F# G#m
B person gets just one chance
E F#
To say what they really mean
G#m F# G#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
E C#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
C#m
The best years have passed you by
C#m
The best years have already passed you by
4/4, G minor
[Outro]
D A
Is this the world passing by?
F#m
Or is it turning, turning?
D A F#m D
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
A F#m D A F#m
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself
D A F#m
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning
D A F#m
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away
D A F#m
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning
D
All this time that I loved you
A F#m
You were turning, turning away
D A F#m (4x)
