E B A E
Oh I wake up feeling the same way every day
E B A E
And I'm aching, numb with the pain that I can't chase away
A E D F#m
So I'm wondering who's taking up your sacred precious time
E D B
Living from day to day without a single sign
B
Would I lie? Oh no
[Refrão]E
One word, one letter, one line
A D A D A
And I'd feel a whole lot better
E
One look would say it's alright
A D A D A
And I'd feel a whole lot better
E B A E
My heart breaks the way you turn your back and carry on
E B A E
And my head hurts cause I just can't work out why it all went wrong
A E D F#m
So I'm wondering, oh the more I think the less I understand
E D B
Leaving is easy when you know you're in command
B
Would I lie? Oh no
Chorus

Yes I'd feel a whole lot better now
