C         G              F           C 
There's a war between my head and my heart  
F           C                  G 
And I don't know which side to take 
C             G               F           C 
You made your home inside the dowry on my head 
F           C                  G 
You know my heart was yours to break  

G                  C       F 
And people try and calm me down 
G               C      F 
But I can never hear a sound 
G      C      F 
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa 
G      C        F  
Whoa-a-whoa-ooo-o  
G 
Yeah 

C         G                F             C 
There are sirens screaming out behind my eyes 
F           C               G 
I hide 'em away 'cause I'm ashamed 
C        G            F                 C  
Or maybe I'm just too shy to just speak up 
F       C                       G 
Or I'm afraid of what you might say 

G                  C       F 
And people try and calm me down (it can only get better) 
G               C      F  
But I can never hear a sound (but you wish you never met her)  
G      C      F 
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa  
G      C        F 
Whoa-a-whoa-ooo-o 
G 
Yeah 
G 
Ooooooooh oooooooh oooooh oooooooooh 

C    G             Am 
Life It's just the way it is 
G 
Yeah  
F             C 
Way it always was 
             G 
And it's all right Oh 
C    G             Am 
Life It's just the way it is 
G 
Yeah.  
F             C 
Way it always was 
             G 
And it's all right 

G                  C       F  
And people try and calm me down (it can only get better)  
G               C      F 
But I can never hear a sound (but you wish you never met her)  
G      C      F 
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa  
G      C      F 
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa 
G      C      F 
Whoa-a-whoa-a-whoa 
G      C        F       G 
Whoa-a-whoa-ooo-oooooo 

C             G              F           C 
And there's a war between my head and my heart 
F           C                  G 
And I don't know which side to take
