Intro: G Em Am C
G
Tonight
Em
I'm staring at the window
Am D
I got Brian Eno on the stereo
G
Tonight
Em
You're gonna be my widow
Am
The only way to get you back
D
Is to get you dressed in black
G
Cause I'm still a fraud
Em
I'm still a fake
Am
I'm self-absorbed
C
I don't talk straight
G
I'm full of shit
Em
I'm full of lies
Am
I can't be trusted
C
But I'll let you try
G
I'm insincere
Em
And I'll let you down
Am
Burn all my bridges
C
Jerk you around
G
And I am not honest
Em
I'm way off track
Am
You gave me chances
C
I gave them back
G
I guess you were right
Em
I guess I was scared
Am
But I'm too opaque
C
To show if I care
G
I'm quick to judge
Em
I'm slow to change
Am
I'll talk about you
C
When you're out of range
G
I wish I was different
Em
I wish I was good
Am
But no one can save me
C
Nobody should
G
Afraid of decisions
Em
Afraid of love
Am
Afraid of the future
C
All of the above
G
And I look for shortcuts
E
When conflict arises
Am
All sleight of hand
C
Elaborate disguises
G
I lack respect
E
I lack intent
Am
I know that I'm careless
C
And I won't relent
G Em Am C G
Cause I can't relent
