------------------------------------------
Intro
x2: C, Cadd9, G
Verse 1
CCadd9G
Just when I had everything figured out
CCadd9G
I let too many words open my small mouth
CCadd9G
He held me once in a room
CCadd9G
It was unattended, and it tasted
CCadd9G
Of an artist's perfume (Oooh, oooh)
CGadd9
Of an artist's perfume
CCadd9G
He graced my naked back
CCadd9G
My only sheet was a black dress
CCadd9G
Woke up to a cold, windy city
CCadd9G
Woke up trying to keep the memory
CCadd9G
I was poisoned into lying through my teeth
CCadd9G
While his words were spoken only truthfully
CCadd9G
Lost my shoes in the mud,
CCadd9G
Walked away clean
CCadd9G
Trying to be tough (Oooh, oooh)
CGadd9
I was trying to be tough
Chorus 1
EmGC
There's nothing in between love and hate
Cadd9G
When it comes down to it
EmGC
So you can walk clean away or you can act in the play
Cadd9G
That we so easily put on for them
Verse 2
x2: C, Cadd9, G
CCadd9G
There was residence of hope in my heart
CCadd9G
Til' I got dealt the unlucky card
CCadd9G
Though the buildup was fun
CCadd9G
The letdown wasn't worth it all
CCadd9G
So I stole us our midnight drinks
CCadd9G
And he got dealt our morning fix
CCadd9G
Then we let the honesty pour
CCadd9G
Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep
CCadd9G
Into a bad dream (Oooh, oooh)
CGadd9
Is this a bad dream?
CCadd9G
He said he used to be like me
CCadd9G
A musical mess, depressed with anxiety
CCadd9G
My ears only took half of his advice
CCadd9G
Happiness comes so easily to him (Oooh, Oooh)
CCadd9G
For me it's a fight (Oooh, oooh)
CCadd9G
It's always been a fight
Chorus 2
EmGC
There's nothing in between lovers and friends
Cadd9G
When it comes down to it
EmGC
So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time
Cadd9G
But I can be useful in your life
EmGC
I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passenger seat
Cadd9G
I'll get us there as fast as I can
EmGC
So we can go our separate ways, I mean this was just a stage
Cadd9G
Of the rest of our lives
EmGC
I'm growing too weak to fight, at least I gave you a try...
Outro
Cadd9, G
CCadd9G
I just spoke too soon
CCadd9G
Did I speak too soon?
