[Verse 2]
         Bm
Left your innocence there

      G
In Tiananmen Square

         D
You were filled with despair

      F#
Underfed and depressed

       Bm
Vacant lot where a prison stood

G
God knows you never would

D
Lie to yourself

       F#
But you do every time

       Bm
Made a life of deception

     G
And passive aggression

        D
Going to scream when I sing

          F#m
Going to die in the ring

        Bm
Turn me on, you're a knockout

      G
Climb up on to my cloud

          F#
Do your worst to me now

        A
Before I change my mind
[Chorus]
     G                  D        A        Bm
Now you, you want to be true, to me once again

    G                 D        Am       G
And you want me to be true, to you once again

         G                  D        A        Bm
Oh yeah you, you want to be true, to me once again

    G                 D         Am      G
And you want me to be true, to you once again
