D              A                    D 
I think I know what you're about to say

   G        A     Bm 
We swore we never would 
             Em              D 
So while the words are still unspoken

Don't you think you should 




       D              Bm                     
Take a breath, Take a moment

Take your time,Before you lie

Everything changes between you and I

So careful what you say 
Em                     D 
'Cause it only takes a half a truth

To throw it all away
