------------------------------------------

Intro
x2: C, Cadd9, G

Verse 1
C Cadd9 G
Just when I had everything figured out

C Cadd9 G
I let too many words open my small mouth

C Cadd9 G
He held me once in a room

C Cadd9 G
It was unattended, and it tasted

C Cadd9 G
Of an artist's perfume (Oooh, oooh)

C Cadd9 G
Of an artist's perfume

C Cadd9 G
He graced my naked back

C Cadd9 G
My only sheet was a black dress

C Cadd9 G
Woke up to a cold, windy city

C Cadd9 G
Woke up trying to keep the memory

C Cadd9 G
I was poisoned into lying through my teeth

C Cadd9 G
While his words were spoken only truthfully

C Cadd9 G
Lost my shoes in the mud,

C Cadd9 G
Walked away clean
C Cadd9 G
Trying to be tough (Oooh, oooh)

C Cadd9 G
I was trying to be tough

Chorus 1
Em G C
There's nothing in between love and hate

Cadd9 G
When it comes down to it

Em G C
So you can walk clean away or you can act in the play

Cadd9 G
That we so easily put on for them

Verse 2
x2: C, Cadd9, G

C Cadd9 G
There was residence of hope in my heart

C Cadd9 G
Til' I got dealt the unlucky card

C Cadd9 G
Though the buildup was fun

C Cadd9 G
The letdown wasn't worth it all

C Cadd9 G
So I stole us our midnight drinks

C Cadd9 G
And he got dealt our morning fix

C Cadd9 G
Then we let the honesty pour

C Cadd9 G
Until it knocked us out into a deep sleep

C Cadd9 G
Into a bad dream (Oooh, oooh)

C Cadd9 G
Is this a bad dream?

C Cadd9 G
He said he used to be like me

C Cadd9 G
A musical mess, depressed with anxiety

C Cadd9 G
My ears only took half of his advice

C Cadd9 G
Happiness comes so easily to him (Oooh, Oooh)

C Cadd9 G
For me it's a fight (Oooh, oooh)

C Cadd9 G
It's always been a fight

Chorus 2
Em G C
There's nothing in between lovers and friends

Cadd9 G
When it comes down to it

Em G C
So you've made up your mind, and I'm not worth your time

Cadd9 G
But I can be useful in your life

Em G C
I'll push the pedal in deep, you're in the passenger seat

Cadd9 G
I'll get us there as fast as I can

Em G C
So we can go our separate ways, I mean this was just a stage

Cadd9 G
Of the rest of our lives

Em G C
I'm growing too weak to fight, at least I gave you a try...

Outro
Cadd9, G

C Cadd9 G
I just spoke too soon

C Cadd9 G
Did I speak too soon?
