Everything you say is a bridge

Everything you do is water under it

Every bit of you that I don't love
F#m G A
Is filled up with my hate

I was a situation
F#m G A
That you were glad went away
G F#m G F#m
Move move forward like a human being

There is something in me that can only give
G A

G A
(tried to smile but it didn’t show up in the photograph)
G F#m G
I was searching for a soul to sell my devils to
F#m G A
(all I wanted was sleep and you took it away)
(yes yes yes yes yes I dislike I hate)
G F#m G F#m G A
Did you do something wrong was there something you did that I could blame
G F#m G F#m G A
I thought I was open I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name
(N.C., only bass and tab)
G F#m G F#m
By the time they send the lifeboats

I won’t want to leave the island

Calling out for different basslines

Did you do something
F#m G A
Was there something you did that I could blame?
G F#m G
I thought I was open
F#m G A
I thought I was intimate and then you asked me my name

Ooh, it was nothing special
G F#m G F#m G A
Ooh, it was nothing sacred
G
Just hands held
F#m G
And shoulders rubbed
F#m G
And voices touched
A
In holy harmony
