Intro
A
Your self destruction has become mine
A
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
F#m
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
F#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Intro 2]
A B
You're too late to decide
C#m
This can't go right
B
Cause I've got this tonight
I've got this tonight
[Verse 1]
A
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
B
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
C#m
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
B
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
A
I need to say this (what you waited for)
B
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
C#m
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
B
But I swore that this time
A
I was more than your hook up
[Chorus]
C#m B C#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
A B
To see your words under my skin
C#m B C#m A
And I am more than a moment
A F#m
But I had to give in
C#m B C#m
E person gets just one chance
A B
To say what they really mean
C#m B C#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
A F#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
F#m
The best years have passed you by
F#m
The best years have already passed
F#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
F#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Verse 2]
A
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
B
Together from this town (we can work this out)
C#m
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
B
To let his guard down (I said everything)
A
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
B
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
C#m
From underneath my feet
B Amaj7
I thought we were floating
[Chorus]
C#m B C#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
A B
To see your words under my skin
C#m B C#m A
And I am more than a moment
A F#m
But I had to give in
C#m B C#m
E person gets just one chance
A B
To say what they really mean
C#m B C#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
A F#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
F#m
The best years have passed you by
F#m
The best years have already passed you by

Or is it turning, turning?
G D Bm G
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
D Bm G D Bm
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself

Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning

Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away

All this time the world I knew was turning, turning

All this time that I loved you
D Bm
You were turning, turning away
