Verse:
B                       E                             B    E
What we learned here is love tastes bitter when it's gone
B                        E                                  B   E
Past yourself forget the light, things look dirty when it's on
B            F#       E                  F#           B
Funny how it comes to pass, that all the good slips away
            F#       E            F#
And there's no one around you can remember being

Now this:
    G#m                E
   good         to    you
B      G#m                         F#
Shame, shouldn't try you, couldn't step by you
    E
And open up more
B      G#m    F#     E
Shame, shame, shame
Verse 2:(same)
What we lost here is something better left alone
Second steps have been forgotten, will you tell me how they go
Set yourself, situate, like a fool try again
There's no one around you can remember being good, for you so

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
F#        E                   G#m
We never thought we'd get so troubled
F#        E               G#m
We could never think that much
F#        E              G#m
It should never get this mad

VErse(same)
So let the wind blow ya, across a big floor
But there's no one around who can tell us what we're here for
Funny in a certain light, how we all look the same
And there's no one in life you can remember ever stood, for you, so
