verse 1 
A                E             A                A 
It’s all the same I’d say you’re losing me again 
A                E             A                 A 
If truth be told I'd blame the monsters in your head 
A     E         A        A                         A       E         A              A 
You’ll blame me........when you turn off the lights and you try to say that you  
can’t sleep

And it goes to show how you make your way into my dreams again 

And the less we know the more we break right apart so we’ll raise the stakes and show them 
                    A E A A 
That we’re different 

verse 2 
A                E               A              A 
It's all the same, I've seen this way too many times 
A             E           A              A 
I’d leave you in the dark. It comes as no surprise 
       A                         E                           A                 A 
But that's if I wanted to and we both know that I’m not over you and i know I don’t  
say it 
A              E           A                A 
But I love you too and it’s starting to make sense

Bridge 
A           E 
I thought I told you once 
A                               A                         A   E 
We’ve got it all mapped out and I’m gonna be the better man 
    A                   A 
And that’s the start to this 
A           E 
I thought I told you once 
A                               A                         A   E 
We’ve got it all mapped out and I’m gonna be a better man 
    A                      A (Strum once)                      A 
And though it’s been said, it’s finally starting to make sense 

End 
E               A                  A             E      A         A 
And it goes to show how you make your way into my dreams again 
E               A                  A                 E                          A 
And the less we know the more we break right apart so we’ll raise the stakes and show them 
                 A                    E                         A 
Yeah the more we break right apart so we'll raise the stakes and show them
