Intro:     Em    x2


Em                                 
  I think I might be a fortune teller
C                                  
  I read your face just like a letter
G                             
  The funny thing about forever
D
  Is it comes with a side of never never

Em
  I cant buy into what you're selling
C
  And no its not that I don't want it
G                                    
  Believe me I love to close my eyes
D
  Enjoy the ride but you've made a bad decision and I
Em            C
  I know, I know, I know,
      G               D
  I know, I know, I know


                     C
  You're only gonna let me down
G               Em              D
  When it counts, you countdown
                     C
  You're only gonna turn me out
G          Em             D
  As I burn, you burn out
                     C                G
  You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
           Em                   D
  But when I think we could be something
              C          G        Em
  You go and let me down, let me down
D     Em    C     G     D
  Oh


Em
  I am too smart to let you in here
C
  But i'm just dumb enough to linger
G
  I wanna think that you'll be different
D
  Smoking mirrors are so clever clever

Em
  I picked him and things went so bad
C
  Then what you say won't actually happen
G
  I've been dying to open my eyes
D
  See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry
Em            C       D
  I know, I know


                   C

  I care too much and you care enough to leave
Em                              C
  I want some place to rest my head without worrying
            G
