Chorus: C, D, Em, G+G

Verse 1:

E minorEm
Like a foggy mirror,

    G+G        D MajorD
Where receptions blurred

                E minorEm
And things could stand to be clearer.

            G+G        D MajorD
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye.

E minorEm                G+G   D MajorD
If I could be the man on your shoulder

          E minorEm
A augmentedA God as you grow older.

         G+G    D MajorD
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.

Pre Chorus:

E minorEm      / D MajorD         Asus2Asus2
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

     D MajorD
Of happy endings.

E minorEm     /  D MajorD       A minorAm
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

     D MajorD
A augmentedA new beginning.

Chorus:

C majorC         D MajorD             E minorEm
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

             G+G
And all the promises they made us,

are all shattered on the ground.

Verse 2:

E minorEm
Your defense,

    G+G      D MajorD
you've done no wrong

           E minorEm
And live life in innocence,

            G+G      D MajorD
So how could they have looked you in the eye?

E minorEm              G+G    D MajorD
If I could be the man on your shoulder

             E minorEm
To Watch you as you grow older.

         G+G    D MajorD
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.


Pre Chorus:

E minorEm      / D MajorD         Asus2Asus2
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

     D MajorD
Of happy endings.

E minorEm     /  D MajorD       A minorAm
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

     D MajorD
A augmentedA new beginning.


Chorus: [x2]

C majorC         D MajorD             E minorEm
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

And all the promises they made us,

              C majorC
are all shattered on the ground.


Bridge:

       D MajorD
It's on the ground.

            E minorEm
And when the cards are down,


It's safe to say that all bets are off.

       C majorC
It's on the ground.

            D MajorD
And when the cards are down,

         E minorEm
Well it's time to play, it's hard to say.


So bet all call.


Chorus: [x2]

C majorC         D MajorD             E minorEm
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

             G+G
And all the promises they made us,

              C majorC
are all shattered on the ground.


             D MajorD
Shattered on the ground,


All the cards are down

E minorEm
Everything they told us

   G+G          C majorC
has always been so wrong,

  D MajorD     E minorEm    G+G / E minorEm
