INTRO:
  C#m   F#m   G#7
VERSE 1:
C#m
It never used to be that bad
F#m                G#7
But neither was it great
C#m
Somewhere in the middle than
F#m         G#7
Content and much too safe
E
Ooh tell me please
                Bsus4   B
Why it takes so long
C#m   F#m                         B
To realize when there's something wrong
CHORUS 1:
         E             A
  Lay me out with your heart
            B
  Now we're gettin' somewhere
          E           A
  Push me back to the start
            B
  Now we're gettin' somewhere
          E          A
  Take me out let me breathe
            B
  Now we're gettin' somewhere
                E           A
  When I'm with you I don't care
           B
  Where it is I'm falling

Cos I believe there is something wrong

OUTRO:
         E                     A
When you took me to your room
                  B
I swear I said surrender
         E                     A
When you opened up your mouth
          B
I saw the words fall out
       E                         A
Though nothing much has changed
                  B
I swear I will surrender
         E              A      B
There is pain in my heart
       E              A           B
We can choose what we choose to believe
  E   A   B (repeat to fade with solo 2)
