Intro E A9/F# E A9/F#
E
I saw myself in you sometimes
A9/F# E
I kept myself up awake at night for you
What you had wasn't what you want
A9/F# E
But you don't know what you want until it's gone
A F#m
I kept my feet up when you cleaned
A B E
I made myself keep quiet when you lie
E
Its such a shame for us to be
A9/F# E
Forever encased in harmony at heart but not mind
I wrote down the names of people
A9/F#
I would rather have spent a year beside than you
E
And there were none
A F#m
I kept my feet up when you cleaned
A B E
I made myself keep quiet when you lie
