Verse 1:

B      C#m
lights out put my seat

back as far as it will go

        E
casting shadows like statues

I'm right outside your window

        C#m
there’s no such

thing as second chance

        E
there’s no such thing

don’t bother to explain Refrain:

          A
you're so beautiful

        B            C#m E
did you hear a word I    said?

          A
you're so beautiful

  B                   C#m E
I guess this is what I    get

Chorus:

   C#m
we trust and believe so easily

    A
and words they speak we

                      B
seek security in one another

                            E   G#
but there’s no way to cover this

          C#m
and these tragic nights

                      A
and afternoons weak disaster

and I can still feel you

      B
as if you were in the room

where does our story

     G#
end? where does it start?

I buried you along with my heart

Verse 2:

C#m
entertain me

           E
tell me it didn't

mean anything

    C#m
its vengous worth

my tolerance and I could be careless

      E
but I promise you'll

feel everything (Repeat Refrain and Chorus) Interlude: A--B--C#m Bridge:

  E
i guess this is what

A B  C#m      E A
I get (I know)

  B                  C#m E
i guess this is what I   get

                     A B     C#m E
(did you hear a word I said?)
