       C                         G 
Start over, I can't make sense of this 
        F                                                     G 
You mumble your words when you don't wanna hurt feelings 
C                                    G 
Calm down, cage bird, get to the heart of it 
                        F                                        G 
Life's not what you thought it'd be, tell me when it ever really is 

        F              G                              F  
Oh, what, are we strangers on the same side? 
                     G                         F 
When best friends and lovers collide 
         G 
I'm never saying never again 

                C          Em 
But we had it coming 
                         F                        Em     
'cause we don't like gray clouds around 
                Dm                Em 
They only ever bring us down 
                   F                    G 
The deeper the doubt, the harder it rains 
                C          Em 
But we had it coming 
                         F                        Em     
'Cause we don't want our colors to fade 
                     Dm              Em 
It's lights out for us all someday 
                   F                         G 
But stay on the bright side of things, okay 

C                                          G 
We shared the same set of eyes for so long 
                 F                                      G 
I can't even see myself without you looking back through me 
C                                   G 
You're the best thing that's ever happened to me 
                F                                     G  
However, the brighter the feather, the harder it's to set free 

        F                 G                        F 
Oh, are, are we strangers on the same side? 
                G                 F 
When best friends and lovers divide 
        G 
You're never saying never again 

                C          Em 
But we had it coming 
                         F                        Em     
'cause we don't like gray clouds around 
                Dm                Em 
They only ever bring us down 
                   F                    G 
The deeper the doubt, the harder it rains 
                C          Em 
But we had it coming 
                         F                        Em     
'Cause we don't want our colors to fade 
                     Dm              Em 
It's lights out for us all someday 
                   F                                  G
