    E                  A           C#m
Sometimes I think this cycle never ends

                     E             A               C#m
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again

                    E                A                 C#m
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth

                     E                A                C#m
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.

But if I move my place in line I'll lose.

    E      A           C#m   A               E      A  C#m
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.

I am waiting for something to go wrong.

     B
I am waiting for familiar resolve.
E A C#m C#m E A C#m Verse 2.
                        E                A              C#m
Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect

                        E                  A              C#m
The twists and turns of plots that took us from lovers to friends

                      E                A               C#m
I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf

                     E                 A           C#m
And crack it's weary spine and read to help remind myself
Chorus.
    E    A       C#m      A    E          A  C#m  A
But if I move my place in line I'll lose.

And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.

I am waiting for familiar resolve

     C#m                             C#sus4
I am waiting for another repeat

        B
Another diet fed by crippling defeat

         B
And I am waiting for that sense of relief

     B
I am waiting for you to flee the scene

          C#m
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun

           B
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.
Bridge. B E A E B E A B E
E
And it's strange

         F#m
They are basically the same

           A                    E
So I don't ask names anymore.
