Em C G C
This is a story of burning bridges and allowing time to pass
This is a story of forgiveness and breaking things in my hands
This is a story of understanding you can't choose who you love
Tnd this is a story of soft skin and rats in the walls
G D
well you can't just pass along the pain that comes around
Em D
You'll go dizzy until you fall
G D
and I know you didn't mean to let me down
Em D
but you let me down so hard
Em C G C
This is a story of loaded glances and leaning in too far
This is a story of vague advances and confessions in smoky bars
So now I am walking down the sidewalk and I am singing to myself and
I'm going to leave it all behind me now 'cause I don't need this, I just don't need this
(Chorus)
C D
These memories are talking and talking and
I'll do anything to shut 'em up
I've got the pillow over my head
Em C G D
But they won't stop
No, no they won't stop
Em C G C
Some fantasies are never meant to be realized at all and
Some regrets could be prevented if you read the writing on the wall
Oh and sometimes you say "you know nothing can happen"
And then she leans over and lifts off your glasses
And the next thing you know you're just tangled and guilty
And you've got a head full of liquor and perfume
Oh and when did you leave me and when did you find her
And tell me is this just what you wanted...
(repeat first verse)
