Chords

[Intro]
D  C#m7 Bm7 A
Ooh,    Ooh
[Verse 1]
   C#m7 F#m
So mystifying

                      B7
when you're back from wandering

            D         A
and finding once again

                    C#m7        F#m
that you're hanging on for dear life

           B7                   D     A D
the family tendency of bruising easily
[Chorus]
            F#m        D D6
We all make vows to ourselves

                  A         E            D D6
not to keep these things so close to our chests

                    F#m        B7
But it's so hard to promise ourselves

              A  E   D D6
that we won't lie to ourselves

              A  E   D A E D      A
that we won't lie to ourselves Ooh
[Verse 2]
               C#m7             F#m
Today a little further from the shore

          B7                     D        A
And maybe tomorrow into the volcano you go

             C#m7             F#m
It's hard to say, but all you know

                   B7
Is that you got no kids to take

           D          A
Your ashes to the lake
[Verse 3]
          D            F#m        D D6
There are all kinds of stories we tell

       A    E  D D6
Starry-eyed in stereo

             F#m           B7
And the only thing that we miss

          A    E          D D6
Is remembering what to forget

       A    E          D D6
Remembering what to forget
[Solo] B7 D B7 [Chorus]
       D        F#m        D D6
And we all make vows to ourselves

                  A         E            D D6
not to keep these things so close to our chests

                    F#m        B7
But it's so hard to promise ourselves

              A  E   D D6
that we won't lie to ourselves

              A  E   D D6
that we won't lie to ourselves
[Outro]
                  A  E   D D6      A D
Oh, that we won't lie to ourselves,

A  D        A D6
to ourselves
