Verse 

    C 
And you 
              Am 
Your love’s defining 
          G 
A generation 
                 F 
To settle the score 

              C 
I once knew trust 
                Am 
But now I’m surrounded 
                 G 
By time I’ve wasted 
                     F  
And hearts that I stole 

                         C 
I owe to you a second chance 
         G 
An explanation 
                Am 
A promise I’ll keep 
                       F     G 
For every lie that I told to you 

                        F 
You said you would come back for me 
                  G 
Said you’d find a safe place 
              Am 
You said that heaven and stars 
            Am          G 
Would never tear us apart 
             F 
You find the right words 
              G 
Even from the wrong ways 
       C 
You lied 


Verse 

                Am 
My lungs were failing 
                G 
Hands to the sky 
               F 
Face to the ground 
             G               C   
I found that you have no intentions 
           Am 
You honor nothing 
                         G 
And how could this be true 
                        F 
They think so highly of you 


Pre-Chorus 

C 
Why won’t you just shut up 
C/D (030010)             
I make you fade away 
Am                                         G (32003x) 
There’s a consequence to every word you say 
F                     G 
Don’t you know who I am 

                    F 
I said I would come back for you 
                G 
Said I’d find a safe place 
              Am 
Who knew that heaven and stars  
            Am         G 
Had their own prison bars 
           F 
I find the right words  
              G 
Even from the wrong ways 
     Am 
I lied 

  G            F 
I never wanted so long  
               G 
To turn and to go away 
            Am 
There was a time when your face 
            Am             G 
I held much higher than grace 
            F 
You are the catalyst 
                  G 
The words I would never say 
      F 
Goodbye 


Bridge 

          Am                 G 
And now I only talk to the dead 
      F                      G 
Goodbye 
          Am                 G 
And now I only talk to the dead 
      F 
Goodbye 
      F (stop) 
Now I only talk to the dead 


    G                   F 
You said you would come back for me 
                  G 
Said you’d find a safe place 
              Am 
You said that heaven and stars 
            Am          G 
Would never tear us apart 
             F 
You find the right words 
              G 
Even from the wrong ways 
       Am 
You lied 

  G            F 
I never wanted so long  
               G 
To turn and to go away 
            Am 
There was a time when your face 
            Am             G 
I held much higher than grace 
            F 
You are the catalyst 
                  G 
The words I would never say 
      Am 
Goodbye 


Outro 

              F                   G 
Don’t tell me what to hold onto now 
              F                   G 
Don’t tell me what to hold onto now 
F                   G 
What to hold onto now 
           Am                                 Am 
(I’m gonna see it all, gonna see it all, your way, your way) 

              F                   G 
Don’t tell me what to hold onto now 
              F                   G 
Don’t tell me what to hold onto now 
F                   G 
What to hold onto now 
           Am                                 Am 
(I’m gonna see it all, gonna see it all, your way, your way)
