intro D
G D
you heard about their wandering eyes
G D
and all the clothes they shared and hide
A G
with all the pain you hope never gets outgrown
Dadd9 Em7 Asus4
'cause you want me to sleep by your side
G Dadd9 Em7 D
to keep her from running your life, uh huh
G D
and i believed in yesterday
G D
when all the words were simply phrased
A G
and they still know i'm only as far as the telephone
Dadd9 Em7 Asus4
if they want me to sleep by their side
G Dadd9 Em7
to keep them from ruining their life
A
their life
Chorus
D F#7 Bm A G
so baby tell me all your secrets and your lies
A
i'll tell you mine
D F#7 Bm A G
'cause lately i've been thinking we ain't got the time
A
playing nice
G A
cause it's a long long long way down
D
ain't it
G D
and all along we used to chase
G D
dreams of dragons far away
A
now all the flocks have flown
G
and i'm too scared to be outgrown
Dadd9 Em7 Asus4
and you want me to sleep by your side
G Dadd9 Em7
to keep you from ruining that night
A
goodbye
Chorus 2

'cause lately i've been thinking we ain't got the time

playing nice
G A
cause it's a long long long way down

G Dadd9 Em7 G

bridge
Dadd9 Em7 G
and i believed in all those words about the west
Dadd9 Em7 G
and is it hard to think that i deserve the best
Dadd9 Em7 G
but you got loaded and went off and lost your head
Dadd9 Em7 G
and now i'm lying here tucked back in my bed
Dadd9 Em7 Asus4
where you want me to sleep on your lies
G Dadd9 Em7
to keep me from living my life
A
my life
