[Intro] D#m C# F# F# D#m C# F# F# [Verse 1]
D#m             C#                 F#          F#
Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat

D#m             C#                 F#          F#
Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret

    D#m             C#                       F#                F#
And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within

    D#m                C#                   F#        F#
The thing you fear the most never need get in
[Pre-Chorus]
                      D#m          C#
'Cause you'll miss the sun

                  F#           F#
The warmth of another's embrace

                    D#m          C#
You'll need room to run

                  F#           F#
And something to chase

                   D#m          C#               F#        F#
And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place

    D#m            C#                 F#        F#
As all you've ever wanted is an escape
[Chorus]
D#m             C#           D#m            C#
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    B            C#            F#     F#
Are making liars out of honest men

         D#m                C#
It's not something that you put to bed

B                  F#
Hang your head and just forget

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest
D#m C# D#m C# B C# F# [Verse 2]
F#               D#m        C#
Darling, when you've tired

       F#      F#
You will see

         D#m               C#      F#     F#
There is no safe place, no sanctuary

              D#m             C#                  F#      F#
It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek

D#m               C#                  F#     F#
Don't make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus]
D#m             C#           D#m            C#
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    B            C#            F#     F#
Are making liars out of honest men

         D#m                C#
It's not something that you put to bed

B                  F#
Hang your head and just forget

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest
D#m C# D#m C# B C# F# F# [Bridge]
D#m               C#                   F#      F#
Here's the truest thing I've ever known

    D#m             C#            F#               F#
The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own

           D#m                 C#          F#        F#
It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on

                    D#m           C#               F#      F#
The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss

   D#m                C#
So life just keeps on ticking by

    F#                   F#
Compelled by instinct to survive

    D#m             A#m                 F#         F#
And love's the only thing worth being alive for

    D#m             C#                  F#         F#
And love's the only thing worth being alive for
[Chorus]
D#m             C#           D#m            C#
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    B            C#            F#     F#
Are making liars out of honest men

         D#m                C#
It's not something that you put to bed

B                  F#
Hang your head and just forget

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest

    D#m             C#         F#     F#
No, love don't know how to rest
[Outro]
