Intro: E  A/C# C#m A  x2


Verse 1:
           E         A/C#
It's about time that I 
     C#m        A
came clean with you
              E
I'm no longer fine I'm 
   A/C#   C#m      A
no longer running smooth
               E
I thought that I found 
       A/C# C#m          A
myself under   something new
              E
Just one more line I repeat 
A/C#     C#m   B
over and over again


Chorus 1:
                    A
Til I'm blue in the face 
       E         B
with a choking regret
                  A
Because I talk in circles 
 E               B
around you on my bed
            A             E
Can't say I blame you one bit 
         B             E/G# A
when you kept it all inside
         B
When you left that night


Post Chorus: E  A/C# C#m A  x2

Verse 2:
           E
It's about time that 
A/C#   C#m        A
you got   sick of me
          E          A/C#
No longer fun and so far 
     C#m    A
from interesting
               E
I thought that I found me 
  A/C#    C#m        A
a cure for   feeling old
              E       A/C#
Just one more line to keep me 
 C#m     B
sleeping loudly and cold


Chorus 2:
      A            E          B
In disgrace with a shameful regret
              A   
As I speak in tongues 
     E          B
to myself in my bed
            A             E
Can't say I blame you one bit 
         B             E/G# A
when you kept it all inside
         B
When you left that night


Interlude: E  B/Eb  B  A   x2


Bridge:
    E
And all that followed 
B/Eb      B          A
fell like mercury to hell
    E
Somehow we lost our 
B/Eb              B A
heads for the last  time
    E
And all that followed 
B/Eb      B          A
fell like mercury to hell
    E
Somehow we lost our 
A                 B
heads for the last  time


Outro:
    E
And I don't dream since 
        E/G#   A
I quit sleeping
     E
No I haven't slept 
            E/G# A
since I met you
    E
And you can't breathe 
                    E/G#   A
without coughing at daytime
                B
And neither can I
                   A
So what do you say?
B(hold) B         E(hold)
  Your  coffin or mine?
