G                           C 
What's in between all those pleasantries? 
G                     C 
How do you think most times 

C                            F 
I've been searching for some passion for my actions 
C                 G        C 
Now you know that its full price 

 
G                C 
You know how and you know why 
G                      C 
You’re not the bedroom type 

 
                          Em          F 
Nightly fading, just what are you celebrating? 
    C                  G          C 
Old fashions burn your short fuse dry 


G                     C  
Whatever this is, the pleasure's all his 
F                     C 
Endlessly trailing my dreams 

 
C                    Am 
No need to pretend I want you instead 
   D                    G         
To council her excellency  

 
G                     C 
Can’t be the first to say you're the worst 
G                     C 
Surely there's one or two 


C                  F                                 
I care more if you act as though you like me 
Am          G      C                        
Than if you really do 

 
G                 C 
Living a lie to a song you can’t hide 
F                              C 
The paintings are still in the tube 

 
C                     Am 
I needed to fall, you need not crawl 
D                    G 
I punish myself with you 

 
G                          C 
What was between all those pleasantries 
G                       C 
What did you hope you’d find? 


F                     C                Em 
I was waiting for the chance you never gave me 
C                 G     C 
I’m still working on my line
