[Verse 1]
E
I can see your face
        D
Call it breaking me alright
A                              D
Pretty soon your heart will be gone
E
You can have the best of me
D
I'll just take the rest of me
A                   D
Why are we growing apart
Am
Ripping out the guts
 
where there's something to save
 
        E          D         A        D
Can you take more, take more all I've asked for
        E          D         A      D
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
 
Am
Passin' out your plastic that
 
couldn't care couldn't care
Am
Tell your turn and back that
 
I'll trade you for no one
 
 
[Chorus 1]
C                         D
When I was an orphan and you were a crow
C                           D
I couldn't believe you were sayin' it so
C                       D               Em
I held out my arms like love for such a laugh
C                         D
Ohhh I follow forgiveness back to the sun
C                     D            B
If you and I were the only ones to stay
 
Well how is it supposed to be now?
 
 
[Verse 2]
E                        D
I can see the bones of indifference, it's sickening
A                                D
sticking through the side of the fool I became
E                     D
Another photograph to kiss me in the morning
    A                             D
Now can I call you back you don't treat me the same
 
         E          D         A        D
Can you fake more, fake more childish laughter
         E          D        A      D
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
 
Am
Lipstick on the glass left to figure out, figure out
 
Patch your pretty promise, it's the gift that you gave
 
 
[Chorus 2]
C                            D
When you were a daughter and I was the sky
C                   D
I never remembered feelin' so bad
     C                     D                Em
You pulled my hair and I smashed your telephone
            C                      D
Oh, you're set in your ways, now change for me
       C                          D
And I said it so clear, still you didn't agree
          C                       D
You just left it to chance as if some way it's free
        B
and it failed
                          Em
How is it supposed to be now?
 
 
Starting a sentence is getting us nowhere
Heart from the hope that you held in your hand
Starting a sentence is getting us nowhere
Heart from the hope that you held in your hand
 
 E          D         A        D
Take more, take more all I've asked for
        E          D         A      D
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
        E          D         A        D
Can you take more, take more all I've asked for
        E          D         A      D
Can you make sure, make sure I come after
