Intro
C#
Your self destruction has become mine
C#
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
A#m
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
A#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Intro 2]
C# D#
You're too late to decide
Fm
This can't go right
D#
Cause I've got this tonight
I've got this tonight
[Verse 1]
C#
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
D#
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
Fm
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
D#
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
C#
I need to say this (what you waited for)
D#
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
Fm
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
D#
But I swore that this time
C#
I was more than your hook up
[Chorus]
Fm D# Fm
Those vacant eyes looking back
C# D#
To see your words under my skin
Fm D# Fm C#
And I am more than a moment
C# A#m
But I had to give in
Fm D# Fm
G# person gets just one chance
C# D#
To say what they really mean
Fm D# Fm
You said yours, I'll say mine
C# A#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
A#m
The best years have passed you by
A#m
The best years have already passed
A#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
A#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Verse 2]
C#
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
D#
Together from this town (we can work this out)
Fm
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
D#
To let his guard down (I said everything)
C#
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
D#
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
Fm
From underneath my feet
D# C#maj7
I thought we were floating
[Chorus]
Fm D# Fm
Those vacant eyes looking back
C# D#
To see your words under my skin
Fm D# Fm C#
And I am more than a moment
C# A#m
But I had to give in

[Outro]
B F#
Is this the world passing by?
D#m
Or is it turning, turning?
B F# D#m B
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
F# D#m B F# D#m
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself
B F# D#m
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning
B F# D#m
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away
B F# D#m
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning
B
All this time that I loved you
F# D#m
You were turning, turning away
B F# D#m (4x)
