[Verse 1]
Dmaj13 A(add9,add11)
I can't find anyone like you
C#m F#7(no3)
It's plain knowing you'll never like me too
Dmaj13 A(add9,add11)
'Cause I'm not real and you're not either
C#m F#7(no3)
'Cause I'll walk through oxygen to end up finding ether
[Verse 2]
Dmaj13
I feel a Joy Division
A(add9,add11) C#m F#7(no3)
When the thoughts cover up my vision
Dmaj13 A(add9,add11)
She said she don't love me, but I start to understand
'Cause she walks through me
C#m
As fate stick hits my hand
F#7(no3) Dmaj13 A(add9,add11) C#m
A
[Chorus]
C#m
It's another song about a girl
Bm
And they all start to seem the same
E E7 A
And that feeling's rather strange (oh)
C#m
'Cause it's just a quiet night
Bm
And my brain begins to fight
E
And I know that it's a phase
E7
For more than a few days
F#7(no3) Dmaj13 A(add9,add11) C#m
F#7(no3)
[Verse 3]
Dmaj13 A(add9,add11)
When we talk I can't see your real eyes
C#m
'Cause the centre of them
F#7(no3)
Left another dying light
Dmaj13
And that light is burning out
A(add9,add11)
And so does my patience
C#m
Now I'm marking myself
F#7(no3)
With anguish and hatred
Dmaj13 A(add9,add11)
It's the same old story
C#m
She doesn't know I'm there
[Solo]
