Verse:
                                Em
It's coming back the things you said
 to me,

                        Bm         
I'm hiding away from reality
      G


          Bm             C
Denying myself all the better parts

Then you slip back and say don't 
 F
take it hard

                            Em
And then I find it hard to sleep at 
all

                              Bm   
Wishing I could give someone else a
         G
 call

                Bm              C
Someone that's closer, closer, close
 to me

                              Am
Forgetting someone might come over 
me

                 G          Am    
Do you know the bar?              
                  G
  The way to the bar?



Chorus:

C                G
       But it's clear and bright 
now,

Continúa después del anuncio
Bm               F               
       from the statements to the
     C
 lies

                 G
       From the big black coffin,

Bm             F                   C
       to the black under your eyes

               G               Bm 
       But if life is complex,    
       F                   C
       why present a fake?

                G                
       And when I close my eyes, 
Bm      F                 Em
        I still see this face

G                F              
Looking upon me, still upon me, 
Em
still...

2nd Verse (same progression as first
 verse)

No competition over ecstasy
Find ebb and tide when you're 
confronting me
I will admit all of my weaker parts
But I shut up if you don't want my 
point
My point of view to stand against 
your own
But I don't need to be put down this
 way
I'm going down this way, but you can
 stay

Do you know the bar? Know the way to
 the bar?


Chorus:
But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present 
a fake?
And when I close my eyes, I still 
see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, 
still...

Em


Bridge:

          C               Am      
And it's black, because I know it 
            G
will never work for me

          C               Am   
And it's black, because I know I 
             G
don't want us to be

 Em
Another opportunity, wasted by all 
of these,
Loose-ends,"they don't know their 
own best" -friends

And "let's pretend"...
