[Intro] Am Cmaj9/B C C Am Cmaj9/B C C [Verse 1]
Am              Cmaj9/B            C
Go on stack the cinder blocks in a cold sweat

Am               Cmaj9/B          C
Build yourself a citadel amid the foothills of regret

    Am            Cmaj9/B                    C
And though you've convinced yourself, you're safe and sound within

    Am                 Cmaj9/B             C
The thing you fear the most never need get in
[Pre-Chorus]
                       Am      Cmaj9/B   C
'cause you'll miss the sun The warmth of another's embrace

                    Am      Cmaj9/B      C
You'll need room to run And something to chase

                   Am                 Cmaj9/B    C
And that thing you fear will coax you out of that unholy place

    Am             Cmaj9/B            C
As all you've ever wanted is an escape
[Chorus]
Am              G            Am             G
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    Fmaj7        G             C
Are making liars out of honest men

         Am                 Cmaj9/B
It's not something that you put to bed

C
Hang your head and just forget

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest
[Instrumental] Am G Am G Fmaj7 G C C   [Verse 2]
              Am           Cmaj9/B     C
Darling, when you've tired you will see

         Am                Cmaj9/B    C
There is no safe place, no sanctuary

              Am              Cmaj9/B          C
It's all just child's play, a game of hide and seek

Am            Cmaj9/B               C
Don't make it harder than it has to be
[Chorus]
Am              G            Am             G
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    Fmaj7        G             C
Are making liars out of honest men

         Am                 Cmaj9/B
It's not something that you put to bed

C
Hang your head and just forget

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest
[Instrumental] Am G Am G Fmaj7 G C C [Verse 3]
Am                Cmaj9/B         C
Here's the truest thing I've ever known

    Am              Cmaj9/B       C
The heart is just a muscle with a rhythm all its own

           Am            Cmaj9/B      C
It doesn't stop when you decide not to move on

                Am              Cmaj9/B         C
The heart knows nothing of your love or of your loss

    Am                 Cmaj9/B    C
So life just keeps on ticking by Compelled by instinct to survive

    Am              Cmaj9/B           C
And love's the only thing worth being alive for

    Am              Cmaj9/B           C
And love's the only thing worth being alive for
[Chorus]
Am              G            Am             G
Those of us who vow never to love again, to love again

    Fmaj7        G             C
Are making liars out of honest men

         Am                 Cmaj9/B
It's not something that you put to bed

C
Hang your head and just forget

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest

    Am              Cmaj9/B      C
No, love don't know how    to    rest
