Intro
F#
Your self destruction has become mine
F#
Your reflection contains nothing but vacant eyes
D#m
Those vacant eyes tell the stories, tell the stories
D#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Intro 2]
F# G#
You're too late to decide
A#m
This can't go right
G#
Cause I've got this tonight
I've got this tonight
[Verse 1]
F#
I wondered how hurt you'd be (the words we've become)
G#
After you read this (were they yours or mine)
A#m
Did it even speed your heart beat (is that what you thought)
G#
Or make you nervous? (thought that you would find)
F#
I need to say this (what you waited for)
G#
The best parts were hush, hush (tonight)
A#m
The best parts were pure luck (tonight)
G#
But I swore that this time
F#
I was more than your hook up
[Chorus]
A#m G# A#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
F# G#
To see your words under my skin
A#m G# A#m F#
And I am more than a moment
F# D#m
But I had to give in
A#m G# A#m
C# person gets just one chance
F# G#
To say what they really mean
A#m G# A#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
F# D#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
D#m
The best years have passed you by
D#m
The best years have already passed
D#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
D#m
You forsake all loyalties for lies
[Verse 2]
F#
Your penny thoughts of leaving (I can still hear the sound)
G#
Together from this town (we can work this out)
A#m
Convinced the boy inside me (with the last of my strength)
G#
To let his guard down (I said everything)
F#
You played me so well (enjoy your time left)
G#
I didn't notice when the floor fell (without the blame)
A#m
From underneath my feet
G# F#maj7
I thought we were floating
[Chorus]
A#m G# A#m
Those vacant eyes looking back
F# G#
To see your words under my skin
A#m G# A#m F#
And I am more than a moment
F# D#m
But I had to give in
A#m G# A#m
C# person gets just one chance
F# G#
To say what they really mean
A#m G# A#m
You said yours, I'll say mine
F# D#m
It's all wasted, so fake it, at 19
D#m
The best years have passed you by
D#m
The best years have already passed you by
4/4, A minor
[Outro]
E B
Is this the world passing by?
G#m
Or is it turning, turning?
E B G#m E
This is the first time that I have ever looked inside myself
B G#m E B G#m
It was the first time that I ever looked inside myself
E B G#m
Now the world beneath my feet is turning, turning
E B G#m
Oh, this silly world keeps turning, turning away
E B G#m
All this time the world I knew was turning, turning
E
All this time that I loved you
B G#m
You were turning, turning away
E B G#m (4x)
