 Em                    G 
Tell me, none of your longings 
         D             Em 
I don't need them, or you 
     Em                     G 
And leave me, none of your wisdom 
         D                       Em 
I don't need your lies, or your truths 


 Em                         G 
I've been better, when the sky was red 
        D                       Em 
And a face like yours couldn't make me scared 
 Em                         G 
I've been better, with the things I've said 
        D                        Em 
When I took the lead instead of being led 


  Main Riff (4x) 

   
 Em                    G 
Feed me, none of your lines 
         D                          Em 
I won't fall for them, 'cause I'll lose 
     Em                     G 
And hold me, to none of my words 
         D                        Em 
I don't mean them, when I'm with you 

         D                       Em 
And the cars streak past with a life inside 
    G                   D 
Why is my life in your eyes? 
         D                     Em 
And the windows glow with the hearts they've known 
    G                  D 
Why is my heart never mine? 


 Em                         G 
I've been better, when the sky was red 
        D                       Em 
And a face like yours couldn't make me scared 
 Em                         G 
I've been better, with the things I've said 
        D                        Em 
When I took the lead instead of being led

I've been better, with the things I've said 
        D                        Em
