Verse 1:

Ebm

  My eyes burn from

these tears

C#

  You think you'd 

                 B

learn over these years

Good things won't

Bbm       G#m

  last forever

Ebm

  So what the hell am

I supposed to do

C#

  You only wanted the things

               B

that I couldn't give to you

Bbm       G#m

  And you had it all anyway





Chorus:

Ebm

  So take take everything

C#

  and leave me scrambling

B

  Reaching for something that

  Bbm           G#m

wasn't there in the first place

Ebm

  So take take everything

C#

  and leave me scrambling

B

  Reaching for something that

  Bbm           G#m

wasn't there in the first place

Verse 2:

                         B

Tell me i'm wrong when I say

              C#

say I can't expect you to

         B         Bb

spend forever with me

B                 C#           Ebm C# B

  I live for that single moment

Bbm           G#m             Ebm

  I take back everything i've said

        C#

You wore those words on your lips

B           Bbm    G#m

  As if they meant anything anyway

Ebm           B

  Sometimes I feel I could drop

        C#

off the face of the earth

B                    Bbm

  It seems I do more harm than good

      G#m                B

And I don't know if it's worth

            C#

me loosing sleep over this





(Repeat Chorus)

C#

single moment
