G C D
I couldn't feel any more trapped than already I do
G C D
Stuck inside, stuck inside this state of mind with you
Am D
And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
Am D
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
G
Can we forget that we are bound by all these
C (or Cadd9 )
ropes and strings
D
That tie us up like this
G
And when we wake up we can go back to the world that
C (or Cadd9)
only wants us
D
To be friends
Am D
And I hope that when I sing you're looking up at me
Am D
So you can see my eyes are filled with hope for what could be
G
I know I'm bound to this fixation for as long as I stay here
C (or Cadd9 )
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
D
So you could come running after me
G
And the perfect world we're after always seems to disappear
C (or Cadd9 )
I wish that we could find a way
D
To make it out of here
Am D
But that would mean that all we've done would simply go to waste
Am D
I'm trying to convince myself we're better off this way
Am D
Because you only smile like I'm your friend
Am
I wish someone would shake this out of me
D
Or shake it into you
(Without picking patter - just one strum)
Am D
And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
Am D
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
