[A]
[F#m] [A]
Met a new me at 8am, the other one got lost.
[Em]
This is not a trade in, [D] although I wouldn't believe the cost.
[Dm]
I woke up crying [A] as [F#m] we said goodbye.
[B] Me and my old self, each day he vanished [E] more and more as I became someone else.
[A]
He actually was murdered, I'd taken him apart.
[Em]
But when [A] I put him back [Em] together, [D] I couldn't find his heart.
[Dm] It was resting underneath the chair, [A] in a bed [F#m] of bright tin foil.
[B] If I'd pulled back the flaps I could still see [E] it beat.
I could still hear his [E] voice, uncall as [A] I said, I want to trade in.
[Em] [A]
[Em] A 14th chance [D] at this life.
[G] [Dm]
I met a woman with a [A] thousand faces, [F#m] [Bm]
and I want to [E] make her my wife.
[A]
Could I have been so mistaken?
Could I think that it was true?
A child that is raised [Em] by an idiot, [D] and that idiot then becomes you.
[A]
How could I believe in a movie?
How could I believe in a book?
But most of all, how could I listen [D] to you?
Such an obvious schmuck.
[Dm] A life spent listening to [A] assholes.
[F#m] It's funny, but it's [B] true.
So get [Bm] rid of them.
I said to myself [E] at first time, I'm getting rid of [A] you.
I want to trade in.
[Em]
A [D] 14th chance at this life.
[Dm]
I met a [A] woman with a thousand [F#m] faces, [D]
and I'm going [E] to make her my wife.
[A]
Take me over [A] to the window.
My heart's into my head.
[Em]
[D] Please set me on fire so we can start again.
[Dm] I was so wrong that it's funny, [A] [F#m] and I can't apologize.
[Bm]
But instead, you could be everything [E] that I'm not the second that I [A] die.
Oh, I want to trade in.
[Em]
Second [D] chance at this life.
[Dm]
I met a woman [A] with a thousand faces, [F#m] [Bm]
and I want to [E] make her my wife.
[A]
[F] [D] Now.
[A] Ha!
[D]
[Dm] A [A] 14th chance at this life.
I want to trade in.
[D]
[Dm] I've got some faces.
[A] I've got some hands.
Let's trade in.
Let's make a trade.
Mm.
[D]
14th.
14th [A] chance at this life.
