Lagwagon - Violins
Intro: C G E F
C G E F C
I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself that
G E F
I am just a hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one
C G
And I forgot to bite my tongue
E F C
As my assumption is the mother of all mistakes
G A F G C
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape
C Bb F
So why you wanna be there, when you can be here?
G C
You are slipping away
C G E
I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp,
F C
In an unfamiliar place
G E
'Cause you put me out, the butt of your sick joke,
F C
Into this ashtray life, as you come and go
G E
'Cause I forgot to service you, and we broke down,
F C
And you can't live with my mistakes
G A
But I assume false grace, open my arms,
F G C
And grasp at something true.
C Bb F
How are you? How have you been?
G C
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again
Bb F
So why you wanna be there, when you can be here?
G F
You are slipping away

C G E F
I bring out the worst in you, and you try to let me know
C G E F
You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety
C G E
I'm trying to let you go,
F C
You say I'm giving you the creeps.
G A
So I assume the role, open my claws,
F G
And grasp for your heart
C Bb F
How are you? How have you been?
G C
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again
Bb F
Into you, like a mortal stake,
G F
So vindictive, your love's slipping away
