E       D        A        A

Verse 1:
E                      D
Hiding in your hoodie, pulling on its strings
A                                           E
Haven't took it off since you told me everything
       D                     A
God, I wish that you didn't
G                        D
Had to take a knife and open up the cut
A                                      G
Silver in the light, watch it tear me up
           D                A
I'll bleed out any minute

Chorus:
Em      G
I could look the other way again
       D                   F#m
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

G                D
If a tree falls
              A
I don't wanna hear it
       G                D
'Cause if I don't know
                A
I don't have to feel it
   G                          D
If I don't see it going down
     A
Then why can't I just block it out?
G                  D
Watching you fall
                  A
And I was nowhere near it
                      G          D        A        A
But I heard it, and I hate it

G        D        A        A

Verse 2:
Em                     D
Back at the beginning, older than before
A                                      Em
Wish I could remember the girl who I adored
        D                 A
I don't know where she's hidden
G                      D
Running by the water, sun-burning my skin
A                                         G
Gotta keep on moving before it all sinks in
       D                   A
How is he getting through it?

Chorus:
Em      G
I could look the other way again
       D                   F#m
'Cause I learned from the best how to play pretend

G                D
If a tree falls
              A
I don't wanna hear it (I don't want to hear it, I don't)
       G                D
'Cause if I don't know
                A
I don't like to feel it (I don't have to feel it, I don't)
   G               D
If I don't see it going down
     A
Then why can't I just block it out?
G                  D
Watching you fall
                  A
And I was nowhere near it
                      G          D        A        A
But I heard it, and I hate it

G        D        A        A

Bridge:
Em                D          A
If I don't see it going down (does it make a sound, does it make a sound)
     Em              D           A
Then I won't have to be let down (oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate the sound)
   G               D          A
If I don't see it going down (does it make a sound, does it make a sound)
     G                 D             A
Then why can't I just block it out? (Oh, I hate the sound, oh, I hate the sound)
        G                D                         A
Yeah, I heard it, and I hate that I did, now I'm hurting (oh)
      G                D                        A
And I heard it, and I hate that I did, was it worth it? (Oh)


   G               D          A
If I don't see it going down (does it make a sound, does it make a sound)
     G                 D             A
Then why can't I just block it out? (Does it make a sound, does it make a)
G                D
If a tree falls
              A
I don't wanna hear it
