Verse:
Em
It's coming back the things you said to me,
Bm G
I'm hiding away from reality
Bm C
Denying myself all the better parts
F
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard
Em
And then I find it hard to sleep at all
Bm G
Wishing I could give someone else a call
Bm C
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me
Am
Forgetting someone might come over me
G Am G
Do you know the bar? The way to the bar?
Chorus:
C G
But it's clear and bright now,
Bm F C
from the statements to the lies
G
From the big black coffin,
Bm F C
to the black under your eyes
G Bm F C
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
G Bm F Em
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
G F Em
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

2nd Verse (same progression as first verse)
No competition over ecstasy
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me
I will admit all of my weaker parts
But I shut up if you don't want my point
My point of view to stand against your own
But I don't need to be put down this way
I'm going down this way, but you can stay
Do you know the bar? Know the way to the bar?
Chorus:
But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...
Em
Bridge:
C Am G
And it's black, because I know it will never work for me
C Am G
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be
Em
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these,
Loose-ends,"they don't know their own best" -friends
And "let's pretend"...

The "tab" part is missing a few minor but intricate parts. I will try to figure these
