[Intro]
(C) Am (C) Am Em F (C)
[Verse 1]
Am
A cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
Am
Another swallow never seemed like enough for him
Dm
They say, "The past is the past"
Em Am (C)
But it never treated me like this
Am
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
Am
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
Dm
He's got no hope for a cure
Em Am
So he'll put himself to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Now we just sit back, we sit back
Dm
While we watch all of them react
[Chorus 1]
F
So tell me what to tell you
G
When the world won't listen
Am
The start to the finish
C
Come on and let me hear it
F
Speak out and use up
G
All the time you're given
Am
The start to the finish
C Em
Come on and let me hear it
F G Am
Go on, go ahead and tell your story
[Verse 2]
(C) Am
She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Am
Never knew what it felt like this unsure
Dm
She's got her eyes on the time
Em Am
But there's no use waiting there for him
G Dm Em
She's not in the world alone
F G
But she wanted to put herself to sleep
[Chorus 2]
F
So tell me what to tell you
G
When the world won't listen
Am
The start to the finish
C
Come on and let me hear it
F
Speak out and use up
G
All the time you're given
Am
The start to the finish
C Em
Come on and let me hear it
F G
Go on, go ahead and tell...
Am C G Em F G
Your stories, your stories, your stories
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Now we just sit back, we sit back
Dm
While we watch all of them react
[Chorus 3]
F
So tell me what to tell you
G
When the world won't listen
Am
The start to the finish
C
Come on and let me hear it
F
Speak out and use up
G
All the time you're given
Am
The start to the finish
C
Come on and let me...
F
Tell me what to tell you
C G Am
When the world won't listen...
F
You've got to speak out and use up
C G Am
All the time you're given
Em
It's time to come on
F G Am
Go ahead and tell your story
