D9 A G Em G
D9 A
If I had eyes in the back of my head
G
I would have told you that
You looked good
Em D9 A G Em G
As I walked away
D9 A
And if you could've tried to trust the hand that failed *
G
You would've never been hungry
Em D9 A G Em
But you never really be
D9 A
The more of this or less of this or is there any difference
G Em A
or are we just holding onto the things we don't have anymore
D9 Em
Sometimes time doesn't heal
G D9
No not at all
D9 Em
Just stand still
G D9
While we fall

In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back

When you got eyes like that

It won't let me in

Always looking out
D9 A
Lot of people spend their time just floating
G Em
We were victims together but lonely
D9 A
You got hungry eyes that just can't look forward
G Em
Can't give them enough but we just can't start over
D9
Building with bent nails we're
A G Em A
falling but holding, I don't wanna take up anymore of your time
A
Time time time
D9 Em
Sometimes time doesn't heal
G D9
No not at all
D9 Em
Just stand still
G D9
While we fall
D9 Em G D9 D9 Em
In or out of love again I doubt I'm gonna win you back

When you got eyes like that

It won't let me in
