(chord pattern repeats) 

staying up all night with my ball and chain 
all the bridges burn, speak to yellow flame 
winning and losing or pushing away 
if i fell apart would you stay 


C                       Am             E               F 
and our plans riddled with liars and thieves 
C                        Am             E              F 
you and i were taking the path we know 
C             Am              E            F 
all along, i was wrong i was wrong 
C                        Am              F 
and moving on with or without 


(intro guitar 1 part 2) 

Verse: 

cymbals shake my ears in the dead of night 
smoke and mirror clubs with revolving lights 
keeping good company let it all go 
when im finally home ill let you know 


C                       Am             E               F 
and our plans riddled with liars and thieves 
C                        Am             E              F 
you and i were taking the path we know 
C             Am              E            F 
all along, i was wrong i was wrong
