verse 1 
D5          C5        D5        C5       F5 C5 G#5 F5 * 
You saw me lost and treading water 
D5          C5 
I looked pathetic 
   D5            C5         F5       C5      G#5 F5 * 
I looked as helpless as a stinger without a bee 
  D5    C5          D5      C5   F5   C5      G#5 F5 * 
But underneath my presentation, yeah 
 D5          C5          D5    C5 
I knew the walls were coming down 
          F5         C5         G#5  F5 *          D#5  D5 / C5 
And the stones that fell were aiming away from me

To know that it'll come back around again?

Hey! Whatever it means to you

verse 2 
D5          C5   D5       C5     F5 C5 G#5 F5 * 
I saw you standing in my headlights (Blink, blink, blink) 
D5       C5  D5        C5 
I thought I'd run you down 
         F5         C5        G#5  F5 * 
For the weight you left on me 
D5         C5      D5       C5         F5    C5 G#5 F5 * 
Instead I pushed rewind, reversed and drove away 
D5                        C5        D5         C5 
And seeing you disappear in my rearview 
F5        C5       G#5   F5 *      D#5  D5 /C5 
Brought to me the word Reciprocity
