Verse: 
                                Em 
It's coming back the things you said to me, 

                        Bm               G 
I'm hiding away from reality 

          Bm             C 
Denying myself all the better parts 

                                  F 
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard 

                            Em 
And then I find it hard to sleep at all 

                              Bm            G 
Wishing I could give someone else a call 

                Bm              C 
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me 

                              Am 
Forgetting someone might come over me 

                 G          Am                      G 
Do you know the bar?                The way to the bar? 



C                G 
       But it's clear and bright now, 

Bm               F                    C 
       from the statements to the lies 

                 G 
       From the big black coffin, 

Bm             F                   C 
       to the black under your eyes 

               G               Bm        F                   C 
       But if life is complex,           why present a fake? 

                G                Bm      F                 Em 
       And when I close my eyes,         I still see this face 

G                F              Em 
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

2nd Verse (same progression as first verse) 

No competition over ecstasy 
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me 
I will admit all of my weaker parts 
But I shut up if you don't want my point 
My point of view to stand against your own 
But I don't need to be put down this way 
I'm going down this way, but you can stay 

Do you know the bar? Know the way to the bar? 


Chorus:
