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

                          G+G
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
