[Verse 1]
Cmaj7        B7
I stood with my hands open wide
Em                           A7
Waiting for a sign from your dead eyes
    Am
And you stood there
          B7
With your mournful sighs
Em           A7
Ignoring my, my voice asking why, why
Cmaj7     B7                                Em
It took a week for you to speak while I was screaming I
      A7
I needed to see eye to eye
Am               B7                         Em
They said to follow waiting for a crumb but hungry tastes like numb
A7
I was tired
I'm not done

[Chorus]
Cmaj7                 B7
And you're so good at acting so good
       Em          A7
Making sure I'd fall
                 Am
Blame it on time
                 B7
Blame it on alcohol
              Em
Blame the new social trends
            A7
Tell me all good things end
               Cmaj7
Say it's your heart
                  B7
How it was doomed from the start
             Em
Call me your perfect girl
       A7
Cut me out of your world
Am
Blame it on your life
        B7
But I
                 Em               A7
Will blame it on you

[Verse 2]
Cmaj7     B7
I told myself that if I tried
Em                       A7
Harder I could buy your affection
I could try
Am              B7
Rumor said if I waited that you'd come 'round soon
         Em
But the clock ticked on and you
        A7
Turned away you left no clue

[Chorus]
Cmaj7                 B7
You're so damn good at acting so good
       Em         A7
Making me feel small
                 Am
Blame it on time
                 B7
Blame it on alcohol
              Em
Blame the new social trends
            A7
Tell me all good things end
               Cmaj7
Say it's your heart
                  B7
How it was doomed from the start
             Em
Call me your perfect girl
       A7
Cut me out of your world
         Am
Blame it on your life
        B7
But I
                 Em               A7
Will blame it on you

[Bridge]
Cmaj7                                      B7        Em
With burned fingertips I reached for your face
Em           A7                    Am                B7
And like a fool was met again by flames
B7                                      Em
My mouth rehearsed and almost said your name
A7                       A7
But words are just words
 Am                  Am
Silence hurts worse

[Chorus]
               Am
So Blame it on time
                 B7
Blame it on alcohol
              Em
Blame the new social trends
            A7               A7
Tell me all good things end
               Cmaj7
And I'll blame it on her
                 B7
I'll blame it on me
               Em
I'll say I was blind I didn't see
               A7
I'll blame the age
                Am
I'll blame your past
                  B7
They tell me this heartache it won't last
Em                             A7
You can blame it on your life
A7
But I
        Cmaj7                  B7
You can blame it on your life
B7
But I
     Em
Will blame it on
