believed you
Eb

When you lie to me i smile

Cause I don’t know how long we’ve got
Eb Gm
And when I look back at the pictures I can
Bb Eb
remember things that we’re not

You’ll be home in California

And by the time you finally want me

Eb Gm
And that’s my problem with emotion
Bb Eb
There’s no controlling where it goes
Eb Gm
One more drop is overflowing your glass is
Bb Eb
broke can’t see me anymore
