[G]
[Bm]
[D]
[G]
[Bm] You and me, we're both free to [G] leave if it's broken
[Bm]
And by now after [D] all [G] who's to blame?
Maybe me, it's always been the same, soft spoken
Maybe you, it's finally through, give up the games
[Bm] Ooh, look at me [G] when I'm talking,
[Bm]
you haven't heard a word [G] from me in years
[D] So shut [A] your [Bm] mouth and turn [A] around, [G] we're gonna do this thing now
[D] No, [A] no, [G] I ain't [A] finished with [D] you, no
[Bm]
Ooh, you never knew when [G] to just drop it
[Bm] When it fell all to hell, [G] we ripped through here
[Bm] And in my turn, I never learned the [G] words that might stop it
[Bm]
Till the years left [G] lines across my face
And [D] now I know all these [Bm] things are [A] things that I [G] could never say
I've [D] been holding my breath [G] and I guess [A] it was [D] easier that way
[Bm]
Ooh, but I can [G] breathe when I want to
[Bm] I can wait you out [G] however long
For [Bm] what's left, it clings to my [G] bones
For the moment that [Bm] it's grown old
Cold enough to know [G] to take its flesh
[D] And for the cost [A] of a pound, [Bm] I get to [A] stumble [G] around till I fall
[D] No, [A] no, [G] I ain't [A] finished with [D] you, no
[Bm]
Ooh, where's my [D] coat, my keys and my wallet?
[Bm] While I'm here, where's the [G] years you took from me?
[Bm] Ooh, and where's that [G] person you [Am]
[G] promised?
[Bm] Are they gone long far [D] away from [G] this place?
[D] Where's their touch and their [Bm] sound?
Is there [A] anything [G] now behind the wall?
There [D] I go holding [A] my [G] breath to see if [A] anything's [D] left in this at all
