Intro

Am
Well the truth it fell so heavy
C
Like a hammer through the room
F                C
That I could choose another over her
F             Am
You always said I was an actor, baby
C                  G
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Am
That you never saw the signs
    C
That you never lost your grip
    F
Oh, come on now
             C
That's such a childish claim
    F
Now I wear the brand of traitor
     Am
Don't it seem a bit absurd
     C               G
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
     F              Am
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Am

    Am
Now you act so surprised
  C
To hear what you already know
F                 C
And all you really had to do was ask
F
I'd have told you straight away
      Am
All those lies were truth
C             G
And all that was false was fact


Am
Now you hold me close and hard
C
But I was like a statue at most
F                 C
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
F
Now you're clawing at my throat
Am
And you're crying all is lost
C                    G
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
F                    Am
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt


Repeat Intro.


Am
Well the truth it fell so heavy
C
Like a hammer through the room
F                 C
That I could choose another over her
F              Am
You always said I was an actor, baby
C                  G
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur


Am
Was it you who told me once
C
Now looking back it seems so real
F                C
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
F            Am
So why is it now after I had my fill
C                     G
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
F               C
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
F               Am
Shall we call this a lesson learned?

End on Am

END




THE END!
