Eb                        Gm
I remember when I used to laugh

Eb                            Gm
Truthfully without wearing my mask

  Cm              Gm/Bb
I wasn't ready to live like that

    Fm7/Ab                 Gm            Bb
Had more self destructive activities at hand

                          Adim7
And now I've used them up

              Gm  Ab/Bb
I'm all burnt out
[Verse 2]
Eb                             Gm
There were many things that he saw

     Eb                           Gm
That no-one else had seen in me before

                     Ab
Well, what does that say?

               Abm
What does that say?

     Gm/Bb                            Bb
When you've accepted no-one else will see you clear like that ever again?
[Instrumental Break] Eb Gm x2 [Verse 3]
Eb                               Gm
Tеll me if I'm wrong in thinking this

               Eb                           Gm
That it's like evеry time we talk we start over again

               Ab
What does that say?

               Abm
What does that say?

     Gm/Bb                           Bb
When I'm left feeling like I lost so much, but maybe I just got it wrong
[Instrumental Break] Eb Gm x2 [Verse 4]
Eb                       Eb/D
There's a few choices we have, oh-ah

    Eb             Eb/D
But only one being good

          Cm               Gm/Bb                   Fm7/Ab      Gm
But I, oh I, I can't do it now - no, I can't do it no, not now

   Bb             Gm                Ab/Bb
So when? Oh Jesus Christ, oh, when?

Person I know walk away

Because I let the best

Gm       Eb         Gm
Person I know walk away

                         Ab
Oh, well, what does that say?

               Abdim
What does that say?
