[C#m] [G#] [C#] I just can't stay here [B] every [F#] day.
Yesterday like people, [F#m] I [D] think I'll stay the way we are [C#m] now.
Every way to smile, forget and make believe.
We'll never need [E] it [F#] any more than this.
[D] Any more than this.

[C#m]
[F#m] [D]
[Em] All I said doesn't matter what [C#m] you do.
I know I'll [F#] get inside of you.
[D] To make your eyes catch fire the way they should.
[A] The way the blue could pull [C#m] the eel if they only would, if they only would.
[F#] At least I'd lose this [F#m] sense of sense [D] in something else that hides [A] away.
From you, you, there was a [C#m] part with aching looks and breaking hearts.
And all the pressure hands you [D] make.
I just take as much as you can [A] throw.
[C#m] And then throw it all away.
Oh, I'll throw it all away.
[B] Like [A] throwing faces [D] at the sky, like throwing [E] arms around you.
Today I [C#m] stood and [A] stared while I'm in front of you.
[E] And a face I thought of back the way [F#m] I wanted to.
[E] But I just can't hold my tears away [A] the way you do.
[G] At least believe [Em] I [F#m] never wanted this.
[G] I thought this time I'd keep [Em] all [F#m] of my promises.
[G] I thought you were the [A] girl I [F#m] always dreamed about.
[G] I left but you, you, you know.
[C#] [F#m] And I promise this love will make believe [E] that I.

[A] At least it doesn't matter [B] what [C#m] you say.
I just can't stay here every [F#] yesterday like people [F#m] [D] acting out the same the way we act [A] out.
Every way to smile, [C#m] forget the fake belief.
We'll never experience [F#m] any more than this.
[C#m] [D] Any more than this.
[A] Every time I try to pick [E] it up like falling time.
[F#m] As fast as I pick it up it [D] runs away to my trucking house.
But [A] there's nothing else I can really do.
[C#m] There's nothing else I can really [F#m] do.
There's nothing else I can really [D] do. At all.
