Intro 

Bm A D E 
Bm D E   (x2) 

verse 1 

Bm                D               E 
I'm looking at a face, a pointed chin towards the sky, an arrogance 
Bm           D                  E 
It easily betrays the closest friend. No moment lost, no consequence 

Pre-Chorus 

Bm           D                      G 
The circle starts again, away from you 
            A                     E    D 
Deception pulls us in, away from you 
           G  A 
Away from you, away from you 


Bm    A       D      E 
An imitation, a fabrication 
Bm        D              E 
A pretty fake, a counterfeit 
Bm        A       D          E 
An empty carcass behind the artist 
Bm          D            E 
Is there a trace of innocence? 

verse 2 

Bm                D            E 
So how do you portray the sentiment? A ruse is brought, the truth is bent 
Bm                 D                 E 
And much to our dismay, they're ignorant. The more that we make up the more it fits 


Pre-Chorus 

Bm           D                      G 
The circle starts again, away from you 
            A                     E    D 
Deception pulls us in, away from you 
           G  A 
Away from you, away from you 


Bm    A       D      E 
An imitation, a fabrication 
Bm        D              E 
A pretty fake, a counterfeit 
Bm        A       D          E 
An empty carcass behind the artist 
Bm          D            E 
Is there a trace of innocence? 

Bridge 

G             A 
This doesn't feel right 
E 
Feels like everything's further away 
G            A          E                              G 
Dead as the nightlife, hindsight, watching another mistake 
           A           Bm 
You never feel right, long nights 
                    G 
Following into the day 
              D             E 
Pale as the street light, pure white Washing the color away 


Bm    A       D      E 
An imitation, a fabrication 
Bm        D              E 
A pretty fake, a counterfeit 
Bm        A       D          E 
An empty carcass behind the artist 
Bm          D            E 
Is there a trace of innocence?
