Intro: C F C F 

verse 1 

      C   
And I lost my mind in the middle of Toronto, I was 
F 
spending nights at home full throttle, I was 
C                                        F 
breakin your heart, breakin my heart, revenge 

       G 
And I feel just like I woke up 
    F 
in somebody else's skin 
 G 
Who else is gonna remind you 
            F         G 
to take a picture of them 

                  C            G 
Well they brought hearts and daggers, they wrote 
  Am        F 
songs about you, when they 
C           G       Am         F 
tied you up in the rungs of ladders 
Am      F           C         G 
and you never ended up coming home, you just 
Am      F                  C             G                 C 
became something like some smoke that I tried too hard to hold 

Fill: C F  

verse 2 

         C 
And when I awoke, everything had changed you see, I 
F 
left my home, returned something different, I was 
C                                         F 
bleeding to death, beaten to death with regret 

    G 
and nobody else can see it 
              F 
but there's something underneath my skin 
    G                     
And I wish I could tell you 
           F            G 
I had the worst little dream 

                  C          G 
And they brought hearts and daggers, they wrote 
Am          F 
songs about you, when they 
C          G        Am        F 
tied you up in the rungs of ladders 
Am      F           C         G 
and you never ended up coming home, you just 
Am     F                   C            G                 C 
became something like some smoke that I tried too hard to hold 

Bridge 
   
        E 
And the black clouds came and darkened all our insides, there were 
F                        C        G 
newspaper clippings with horrible headlines 
   E 
of doom and despair and your name and my name saying 
F                           C            G 
Who will save you from the truth of the matter 
          F                          G 
that your love, though like gold, is gone? 

                  C          G 
And they brought hearts and daggers, they wrote 
Am           F 
songs about her, and they 
C          G        Am        F  
tied you up in the rungs of ladders 
Am      F           C         G 
and you never ended up coming home, you just 
Am     F                C        G  
became something like a dream I saw where they brought 
C          G 
hearts and daggers, they wrote 
Am          F  
songs about you, and they 
C        G          Am        F 
tied you up and you hung from ladders 
Am      F           C         G 
and you never ended up coming home, you just 
Am     F                   C            G                 C 
became something like some smoke that I tried too hard to hold
