The Open Door EP
F                                  Am                   F
Well I have learned so very little, when these bones are old and brittle

F                                   Am                    F
I wait to talk when I should listen, I crowd mistakes with false revisions

F                                   Am                   F
All my friends are forward thinking, getting hitched and quitting drinking

F                                Am                 F
And I can feel them pulling away, as I'm resigned to stay the same

    F         G   Am   F    D
And you can't even begin to know

    F    G         Am      F        D        F
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

F                        Am                   F
I was once a loyal lover, whose lips did never seek another's

F                                      Am                      F
But now each love's more like a matchup, a blinding spark that burns out fast

F                                           Am                       F
And they all conclude with the same sentence, "I've never met someone more self-centered"

F                                      Am                 F
Who thinks that life with a nice girl's like waiting for a bus to work

    F         G   Am   F    D
And you can't even begin to know

    F    G         Am      F        D        F
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

    F         G   Am   F      D
And you can't even begin to believe

   F    G       Am          F      D      F
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me

Am            F         F                G
If you deem it so, just cut the cord and go

Am        F             F                  G
You'll be fine, there's plenty of hills to climb

    F         G   Am   F    D
And you can't even begin to know

    F    G         Am      F        D        F
How many times I've told myself, "I told you so"

    F         G   Am   F      D
And you can't even begin to believe

   F    G       Am          F      D      F
So many bridges engulfed in flames behind me  [x2]
