Intro
x2: C, Cadd9, G
Verse 1
C Cadd9 G
Just when I had everything figured out
C Cadd9 G
I let too many words open my small mouth
C Cadd9 G
He held me once in a room
C Cadd9 G
It was unattended, and it tasted
C Cadd9 G
Of an artist's perfume (Oooh, oooh)
C Cadd9 G
Of an artist's perfume
C Cadd9 G
He graced my naked back
C Cadd9 G
My only sheet was a black dress
C Cadd9 G
Woke up to a cold, windy city
C Cadd9 G
Woke up trying to keep the memory
C Cadd9 G
I was poisoned into lying through my teeth
C Cadd9 G
While his words were spoken only truthfully
C Cadd9 G
Lost my shoes in the mud,
C Cadd9 G
Walked away clean
C Cadd9 G
Trying to be tough (Oooh, oooh)
C Cadd9 G
I was trying to be tough
Chorus 1
Em G C
There's nothing in between love and hate
Cadd9 G
When it comes down to it
Em G C
So you can walk clean away or you can act in the play
Cadd9 G
That we so easily put on for them
Verse 2
x2: C, Cadd9, G
C Cadd9 G
There was residence of hope in my heart
C Cadd9 G
Til' I got dealt the unlucky card
C Cadd9 G
Though the buildup was fun
C Cadd9 G
The letdown wasn't worth it all
C Cadd9 G
So I stole us our midnight drinks
C Cadd9 G
And he got dealt our morning fix
C Cadd9 G
Then we let the honesty pour
C Cadd9 G
Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep
C Cadd9 G
Into a bad dream (Oooh, oooh)
C Cadd9 G
Is this a bad dream?
C Cadd9 G
He said he used to be like me
C Cadd9 G
A musical mess, depressed with anxiety
C Cadd9 G
My ears only took half of his advice
C Cadd9 G
Happiness comes so easily to him (Oooh, Oooh)
C Cadd9 G
For me it's a fight (Oooh, oooh)
C Cadd9 G
It's always been a fight
Chorus 2
Em G C
There's nothing in between lovers and friends
Cadd9 G
When it comes down to it
Em G C
So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time
Cadd9 G
But I can be useful in your life
Em G C
I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passenger seat
Cadd9 G
I'll get us there as fast as I can
Em G C
So we can go our separate ways, I mean this was just a stage
Cadd9 G
Of the rest of our lives
Em G C
I'm growing too weak to fight, at least I gave you a try...
Outro
Cadd9, G
C Cadd9 G
I just spoke too soon
C Cadd9 G
Did I speak too soon?
