Verse:
 
C 
i've been doing lots of thinking lately 
                                 F             
you need to know it's all about you you you 
      G 
it's fair to say 
C 
you've been doing lots of thinking lately 
                                F 
and we both know it's all about her her herrr 
she can do no wrong 

Pre-Chorus:
 
Am                        F                        C 
and if you're honest with me i'll be honest right back 
Am                                 F                              G 
i love you the things that you've got you love the things that i lack 


C 
when all you've gained begins to rust 
G 
and when your name decays to dust 
Dm 
i know  
F 
you'll show 
C 
i stood there as the curtains drew  
G 
it's plain to see we were but fools 
Dm        F 
i know 
                               C 
we were ripping at the seams 


Verse:
 
C 
i've been doing lots of building lately 
                                 F 
i'm trying to build bridges over you you you 
      G 
it's fair to say 
C 
you've been causing lots of chaos lately 
                                      F 
it's clear that you don't care about me me me 
and i think i'm done 

Pre-Chorus:
 
Am                        F                        C 
and if you're honest with me i'll be honest right back

i love you the things that you've got you love the things that i lack 


C 
when all you've gained begins to rust 
G 
and when your name decays to dust

i know  
F 
you'll show 
C 
i stood there as the curtains drew  
G 
it's plain to see we were but fools 
Dm        F 
i know 
                               C 
we were ripping at the seams 


Bridge:
 
F            Am  G 
sailing the commotion 
F            Am  G 
drowning in devotion  
F                   Am  G 
our voyage has been failing 
F                     Am  G 
it will not be plain sailing from here 


C 
when all you've gained begins to rust 
G 
and when your name decays to dust 
Dm 
i know  
F 
you'll show 
C 
i stood there as the curtains drew  
G 
it's plain to see we were but fools 
Dm        F 
i know 
                               C  
we were ripping at the seams
