Intro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A
Verse 1:
Am G D
The air that you breathe it must be poison
Bm7 A G
And you're dressed up in your best disguise
Bridge 1:
Dsus2/F# G
I don't want to hear what you have to say
Dsus2/F# G
It's there in your eyes when you look away
Dsus2/F# G E/Ab A
These beautiful words are turning into lies
Chorus 1:
Em G D
How can you say that to me
Verse 2:
Am G D
The light that still shines is just an illusion
Bm7 A G
Just a memory from a burned out star
Bridge 2:
Dsus2/F# G
Its promise has come from so far away
Dsus2/F# G
It's fighting through sadness and years of decay
Dsus2/F# G E/Ab A
Oh and it's a wonder it ever made it this far
Chorus 2:
Em Dsus2/F# G A
Well now how can you say that to me
Em Dsus2/F# G A
After all of those secrets you let me believe
Am G Gm Dsus2/F#
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
Em G
Well now how can you say that
Bridge 3:
Bm7 F#m7 G
It's not this silence that screams in my mind
A Bm7
Each day I feel like I'm falling behind
F#m7 G
Living in shadows, still getting burned
Gm
When will I ever learn
Chorus 3:
Em Dsus2/F# G A
Well now how can you say that to me
Em Dsus2/F# G A
After all of those secrets you let me believe
Am G Gm Dsus2/F#
There's no rose petal air, there's just thorns when I breathe
Em G D
Well now how can you say that to me
Outro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A (repeat & fade)
