[Intro] Dm/C A# Gm Dm (x2) Dm/C A# G Dm (x2) Am Bm C Dm (x2) Am Bm C Dm D# Am [Verse 1]
Am
From day to day,

              A#
from hand to mouth.

A#
We’re turning around,

A#
vicious ritual.
[Verse 2]
                  Am
Getting used to it all,

                A#
falling down again.

A#
We’re waiting for,

A#                         Am
The decrees of providence.
[Verse 3]
Am
I don’t want to waste,

                    Bm
any more of my life.

           A#
Live from day to day,

                   Am
live from hand to mouth.
[Verse 4]
Am
Facing the light,

                    Bm
I brush aside your plans.

              A#
I’m going to have,

A#
it all my own way.
[Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,

           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.

             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,

                         Am
I just want you to know this time.

Am
I just want you to know this time.
[Solo] Am [Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,

           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.

             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,

                         Am
I just want you to know this time.

Am
Go!
[Heavy Instrumental] Am Am Bm C Dm (x2) Am Bm C Dm D# Am [Soft Instrumental] Am Csus2/G Am Csus2/G (x4) [Verse 5]
Am                        Csus2/G          Am Csus2/G
I just want to feel your sigh on my neck,

Am                  Csus2/G    Am                Csus2/G
want to feel your breath, feel your need to stay.

Am                     Csus2/G Am          Csus2/G
You don’t know my name, don’t know my face.

Am          Csus2/G       Am             Csus2/G
Only thoughts I share in my secret place.
[Soft Instrumental] Am Csus2/G Am Csus2/G (x2) [Verse 6]
Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,

Am                   Csus2/G       Am          Csus2/G
I’ve ground to a halt, there’s no turning back.

Am            Csus2/G             Am          Csus2/G
You know there are things I just can’t forget,

Am                     Csus2/G     Am             Csus2/G
you’ve helped me so much, to learn to be detached.
[Chorus]
Am                          G/C                   F
And when that all shattered I felt I’d broken my fall,

           Am                 G/C               F
couldn’t pretend that I felt strong about us anymore.

             Am              G/C                   F
Without your help I finally started to live my own life,

        Dm                      Am G/C F
and I know I don’t need you now.
[Solo] Am C/G F (x2) [Verse 7]
Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,

Am             Csus2/G           Am                Csus2/G
life is much too short to be whiled away with tears.

Am         Csus2/G             Am      Csus2/G
Secret exhibition, cure for loneliness,

Am              Csus2/G 
I erase you now,

Am                   Csus2/G 
I don’t need you now,

Am
I erase you now with all of my past.
