Intro: 
D - D - Em (4x) 

verse 1:

Em           (G)          C 
You couldn't even show yourself out 
Em          (G)            C 
You were so held up by your thoughts 
Em       (G)          C 
Along the way we got divided 
Em           (G)            C 
And I'm left showing you the door 

 
                            D 
You couldn't look me in the eyes 
                G 
So I'll dim the lights 
         D                    G 
When you take me, out on your side 
      D                G 
We're spinning, out of sight 
  D                     G 
Believe me, I'm on your side 

Solo: 
C - D - Em... 
Bm - C - G... 

verse 2: 
Em         (G)           C 
It took so long for me to speak up 
Em         (G)             C 
It was the hardest thing to say 
Em    (G)            C 
Taken right up to the entrance 
Em          (G)           C 
At the last minute turned away 


                           D 
Just can't look you in the eyes 
                 G 
So let's dim the lights 
      D                      G 
Get a case out, pack up your pride 
     D                  G 
It's over; We're out of time 
   D                   G 
Delete me, I'm on your side 

Solo: 
C - D - Em... 
Bm - C - G... 
D... 
Fades out, then fades in with new key 
Dm - Bb - F... 
Dm - Bb - F... 

Bridge: 

Dm       Bb                    F 
For everything that could have been 
Dm      Bb                F 
Well at least we took the ride 
Dm         Bb              F 
There's no relief in bitterness 
Dm     Bb          F 
May as well let it die 

OUTRO: 

Dm - Bb - F... 
Dm - Bb - Dm-F... 
4x loud, then 4x quietly fading
