(Chorus 1)
B F#^
if you don't care, i don't care
B E^
we don't belong together
G# F# E (short)
cause we don't belong anywhere
B F#^
if you're not sure, i'm not sure
B E^
what all these tears are falling for
G# F# E^ (long)
let's decide not to care anymore
(Verse 1)
F#^ E^ B (finger pick)
F#^ E^ B^
awake in a white washed tomb
F#^ E^ B^
awaiting the hand of doom
G#^ F#^
with our tickets to some distant patch of sky
F#^ E^ B^
employing a few choice words
F#^ E^ B^
we flutter like captive birds
G#^
finally free
F#^
but still afraid to fly
(Chorus 2, same as first)
if you don't care, i don't care
we don't belong together
cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure
what all these tears are falling for
let's decide not to care anymore
(Verse 2, same as first)
assuming a plaintive pose
for reasons that neither knows
but we're both convinced we'll make it out alright
astoundingly still unclear
we stab at a faceless fear
as hand in hand we fall into the light
(Chorus 3, same as first)
if you don't care, i don't care
we don't belong together
cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure
what all these tears are falling for
let's decide not to care anymore
(Bridge)
G#^ F#^ E^
anymore, anymore, anymore (x4)
(Verse 3, same as 2nd half of verse 1)
employing a few choice words
we flutter like captive birds
finally free
but still afraid to fly
(Chorus 4, same as first)
if you don't care, i don't care
we don't belong together
cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure
what all these tears are falling for
let's decide not to care anymore
(Chorus 5, same as first)
if you don't care, i don't care
we don't belong together
cause we don't belong anywhere
if you're not sure, i'm not sure
what all these tears are falling for
let's decide not to care anymore
G# F# E^

G# F# E^
let's decide not to care anymore
G# F# (end on E)
let's decide not to care anymore
