Verse:Em
It's coming back the things you said to me,
BmG
I'm hiding away from reality
BmC
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
BmG
Wishing I could give someone else a call
BmC
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me
Am
Forgetting someone might come over me
GAmG
Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?
CG
But it's clear and bright now,
BmFC
from the statements to the lies
G
From the big black coffin,
BmFC
to the black under your eyes
GBmFC
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
GBmFEm
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
GFEm
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:
But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...
EmBridge:CAmG
And it's black, because I know it will never work for me
CAmG
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be
Em
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these,
Loose-ends,'they don't know their own best' -friends
And 'let's pretend'...
'and it's clear and bright now, from the statments to the lies,
from the big black coffin, to the black under your...'
'Eyes'
CAmG X2
Outro:
'bah,bah,bah'

Notes:
The 'tab' part is missing a few minor but intricate parts. I will try to figure these
out in the future, or maybe someone else already has?.
