C E
Hold my hand while you cut me down
Am E
it had only just begun but now it's over now
C E
and you're in the heat of moments with your heart playing up cold
Am E
I'm between the middle watching hastiness unfold
C E
in my eyes you were smiling in the spotlight dancing
Am E
with the night when I fell off your mind
[Refrão]
F
I'm tired of trying
C E

C E
when I don't get nothing back
F C E F
and for, and for what, and for
C E
when I don't get nothing back
C
Boy, I'm tired
C E
where do you go when you stayed behind
Am E
I looked up and inside down and outside only to find
C E
a double taking punching hard and laughing at my smile
Am E
I get closer you obviously prefer her
