[Verso 1]
C#m
Between the devil and the deep blue sea
G#m F#m
Between a rock and a carbonised tree
F#m B C#m
And everyone quite easily says, "Bye"
C#m
I banished all when I went away
G#m F#m
I never said what I wanted to say
F#m B C#m
And everytime I brought it up I failed
C#m
I hate myself when it gets to this
G#m F#m
I'm just a coward when it comes to it
F#m B C#m
And everytime I try to reach I fail
 
[Refrão]
 
G#m
If everything was different now
A G#
How different would I be?
F#
If I could change one thing around
B Bm A G#m G#
Would that pattern still be complete?
 
[Verso 2]
 
C#m
I banished all when I went away
G#m F#m
I couldn't face standing there all day
F#m B C#m
Tryng think of clever things to say I bailed
 
Solo C#m G#m F#m B C#m
 
[Refrão]
 
G#m
If everything was different now
A G#
How different would I be?
F#
If I could change one thing around
B Bm A G#m G#
Would that pattern still be complete?
[Verso 3]
 
C#m
What kind of person have I really been?
G#m F#m
I never took it, I just follow a dream
B F#m
And all the things I just don't get
B F#m
And all the words I never meant
B F#m C#m
And all things that make no fucking sense I failed
C#m
Oh, I failed
C#m
Mmm, I failed
C#m
Mmm, I failed
 
Oh, I failed
