Gm                                   Gm7
I'm writing this to you in reverse

Gm
Someone better call a hearse

Gm7   Gm
I can see it all from here

Gm                      Gm7
From just a few glimpses

         Gm
Now that lightbulb's gone off

                         Gm7
And it's pulling my wince

            Gm
And now the lightbulb's gone off

     Gm7             Gm
I've seen it in your eyes

Gm                         Gm7
I've seen you blankly stare

              Gm
And I want to show you how I love you

                         Gm7
But there's nothing there
[Chorus]
Gm                     Gm7
I'm not standing here!

   Gm                     Gm7
Oh I'm not standing here!

        Gm
And I'm writing in reverse

Gm
I know it could be worse

Gm                                           Gm7
I'm not standing here, I'm not standing here

Gm                   Gm7 Gm                 Gm7
(I'm not standing here, I'm not standing here)

         Gm                                           Gm7
(And I'm writing in reverse, I know it could be worse)

Gm7   Gm
And I hear that famous song

Gm                            Gm7
And I hear that can't be wrong
Gm Gm Gm Gm Gm7 [Verse 2]
  Gm
No nothing was planned

Gm                          Gm7
You just can't help yourself

Gm                                           Gm7
Some people are so easily shuffled and dealt

Gm                                       Gm7
If there's only one of us you truly felt

     Gm
We're getting you raw

Gm                    Gm7
And it feels real good

Gm7      Gm
Although only briefly

Gm                            Gm7
Like high school poppers would

         F                       Em
Will you lose a bit of yourself?

             Dm                  C Bb
Will you lose a bit of yourself?
[Chorus]
Gm                     Gm7
I'm not standing here!

   Gm                     Gm7
Oh I'm not standing here!

        Gm
And I'm writing in reverse

Gm
I know it could be worse

Gm7   Gm
And I hear that famous song

Gm                            Gm7
And I hear that can't be wrong
[Bridge]
Gm7
Look out!

Cm
All I know, is all I know

     Eb
Yes, all I know, is all I know

   Gm7
Is all I know
Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7 Gm Gm Gm Gm7
Gm7
(false coda)
[Verse 3]
Gm                                   Gm7
I'm writing this to you in reverse

Gm
Someone better call a hearse

Gm7   Gm
I can see it all from here

Gm                      Gm7

Now that lightbulb's gone off

                         Gm7

     Gm7             Gm
I've seen it in your eyes

Gm                         Gm7
There's nothing there

                                Gm
There's nothing there I want to show you how I love you

              Gm7           Gm
I can see you blankly stare
