[D] [A] [D] [A]
It [E] doesn't matter what [F#m] I say, [C#] yeah
[D] As long [A] as I sing with [D] inflection
[A]
That makes [E] you feel that [F#m] I'll [C#] convey
[D] Some inner [A] truth or vast [D] reflection
[A]
I've [E] stood nothing so [F#m] far
[C#]
[D] And I can [A] keep it up for as long as it takes
And it don't [E] matter who [F#] you are
[C#]
[D] If [A] I'm doing my job, [D] it's your resolve that [E] breaks
Because the hook [E] brings you [F#m] back
I [C#] ain't
[D] [A] telling you [D] no lies
[A]
Love [E] brings [F#] you [C#] back
[D] [A] On that you can't [D] rely
[A]
There [F#] is something [F#m] amiss
[C#]
[D] [A] I am being [D] insincere
[A]
The [E] fact that I don't mean [F#m] any [C#] of this
[D] Still [A] my confession [D] draws you near
[A]
To [E] confuse the issue [F#] I [C#] refer
[D] A [A] million heroes [D] from long [E] ago
[A] No [E] matter how much Peter loved her
[C#]
[D] What [A] made the pair [D] refuse to grow up
Was [A] that the hook [E] brings you back
[C#]
[D] I [A] ain't telling [D] you no [B] lies

[F#m] Suck it in, suck it in, suck [E] it in
If you're winking, tingling, [F#m] rambling
Make a desperate move or [C#] else you'll win
And then [D] begin to see what you're doing to me
[A] This MTV is not for free, [D] it's so busy it's killing me
So desperately I'll [A] sing to the other love
Sure, but I'm so raging, hating, pain [F#] and fear of self
[C#] And I can't keep these feelings on the [D] shelf
I've tried, well, [A] no, in fact, I [D] lied
Could be financial suicide
But [F#] I got all my pride and time to hide
Just right, I'll do as I'm said
And let it ride until I've died
[C#] And only then shall I abide [D] this tide
To catch little tunes [A] of every minute ditties
[D] I wanna bust later balloons
I wanna burn all of [A] your cities to the ground
And I'll find [E] [F#] a way
I will go on, I'll [D] give you what I say
Now the [A] prayer to pray, that's really all this [D] was
When I'm feeling stuck, I [E] need a buff
I don't rely on [A] love because the hook [F#] brings you back
[C#] [D]
