Capo 4
G Em
I'm on the phone, you turn your back on me
G Em
And we're all alone, why is this happening?
G Em
I, I never thought I would be questioning
D
The one I, one I love
G Em
But here we are wrapped up in silence
G Em
Can we sound the alarm? Most of its fighting
G Em
I don't know where to start I keep colliding with
D
The one I, one I love
Am D
Don't make it so hard for me to stay
C
You should know better than that
G Em
And before you go on breaking my heart
G Em
And I fall even deeper in love
G Em
And my lungs screaming out
C
"Can you hear me?!"
C
You should know better than that
G Em D
And here we are, here we are, ohhh
G Em
If I could leave, I would be leaving
G Em
Because I cannot believe what I am hearing
G Em
Tell me how can it be I'm second guessing on
D
The one I, one I love
Am D
Don't make it so hard for me to stay
C
You should know better than that
G Em
And before you go on breaking my heart
G Em
And I fall even deeper in love
G Em
And my lungs screaming out
C
"Can you hear me?!"
C
You should know better than that
G Em D
And here we are, here we are, ohhh
G Em D
Here we are, here we are again
G Em
Some forgive just to forget
G Em
I've not forgotten yet
G D
I still believe in you
G Em
But there's a crack in our cement
G D D
This time it's permanent, permanent
C
You should know
C
You should know better than that
G Em
And before you go on breaking my heart
G Em
And I fall even deeper in love
G Em
And my lungs screaming out
C
"Can you hear me?!"
C
You should know better than that
G Em D
And here we are, here we are, ohhh
G Em D
Here we are, here we are again
C
You should know better than that
G Em D
And here we are, here we are, ohhh
G Em D
Here we are, here we are again
C
You should know better than that
