Intro
B
Your self destruction has become mine
B
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
G#m
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
G#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Intro 2]
B C#
You're too late to decide
D#m
This can't go right
C#
Cause I've got this tonight
I've got this tonight
[Verse 1]
B
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
C#
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
D#m
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
C#
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
B
I need to say this (what you waited for)
C#
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
D#m
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
C#
But I swore that this time
B
I was more than your hook up
[Chorus]
D#m C# D#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
B C#
To see your words under my skin
D#m C# D#m B
And I am more than a moment
B G#m
But I had to give in
D#m C# D#m
F# person gets just one chance
B C#
To say what they really mean
D#m C# D#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
B G#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
G#m
The best years have passed you by
G#m
The best years have already passed
G#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
G#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Verse 2]
B
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
C#
Together from this town (we can work this out)
D#m
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
C#
To let his guard down (I said everything)
B
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
C#
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
D#m
From underneath my feet
C# Bmaj7
I thought we were floating
[Chorus]
D#m C# D#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
B C#
To see your words under my skin
D#m C# D#m B
And I am more than a moment
B G#m
But I had to give in
D#m C# D#m
F# person gets just one chance
B C#
To say what they really mean
D#m C# D#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
B G#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
G#m
The best years have passed you by
G#m
The best years have already passed you by
4/4, D minor
[Outro]
A E
Is this the world passing by?
C#m
Or is it turning, turning?
A E C#m A
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
E C#m A E C#m
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself
A E C#m
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning
A E C#m
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away
A E C#m
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning
A
All this time that I loved you
E C#m
You were turning, turning away
A E C#m (4x)
