Chords

Note: A is a transition chord between G and Bm, and D from Bm to G - played very quickly right before the next chord. D and A are optional in chorus Intro: Bm, D, G, A

             Bm
And we could ride all night

To the pace of the blinking light

         D           G
Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)

Keeping safe distance, but courting disaster

A         Bm
We could dance all night

To the sounds of a starting fight

          D          G
Hoping change would come around (change would come around)

                                       A
Amazing division, how sweet the sound

Bm
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!

                                        D
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

G
Hate me, hate me, hate me

                                         A
For every honest word that you've postponed

Bm
Leave me out of this

                       D
Your life's a sinking ship, so

G
Blame me, blame me, blame me

                                           A
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

               Bm
And we could stare all day

At problems that won't go away

   D           G
Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)

You're wearing me down, these corners they're rounding

      A         Bm
Then we could scream all night

With no resolve still left in sight

       D             G
Stop saying you're sorry

                                       A
All of these words feel so very empty

Chorus

G              A
Torturing ourselves, we must be into the abuse

Bm         
If you're the rope that ties us together

 A
Please make me a noose

            G
Ask me to leave

Then beg me just to stay

        A
Used to run to my arms, but now I walk away

Bm
Come and go as you please

I'm like a part-time lover with well-worn knees Well, come on Chorus Bm, D, G, A
