Verse 1:

 F#m                                    Dsus2                         Esus4
I was only looking for a shortcut home

           E
But it's complicated

 Esus4           E
So complicated

 F#m                                      Dsus2                      Esus4
Somewhere in this city is a road i know

                       E
Where we could make it

 Esus4                              E     Dsus2
But maybe there's no making it now


Chorus:

 A
Too long we've been denying

 E
Now we're both tired of trying

 F#m                             Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A
Nothing to relive

       E
It's water under the bridge

      F#m
You said it, i get it

            Dsus2
I guess it is what it is



Verse 2: same as verse 1
i was only trying to bury the pain
but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying
was only trying to save me
but i lost you again
now there's only lying
wish i could say it's only me


Chorus 2: same as previous chorus

 A
Too long we've been denying

 E
Now we're both tired of trying

 F#m                             Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A
Nothing to relive

       E
It's water under the bridge

      F#m
You said it, i get it

            Dsus2
I guess it is what it is


Bridge:

 Dsus2
Here it comes ready or not

     E
We both found out it's not how we thought

     F#m              Bm          C#5(just 1 strum)
that it would be, how it would be
 Dsus2
If the time could turn us around

      E
What once was lost may be found

     F#m              Bm       C#5(just 1 strum)
for you and me, for you and me


Solo: Same as intro


Last Chorus: same as before

 A
Too long we've been denying

 E
Now we're both tired of trying

 F#m                             Dsus2
We hit a wall and we can't get over it

 A
Nothing left to relive

      E
It's water under the bridge

      F#m
You said it, i get it

           Dsus2 (keep for 2 bars)
i guess it is what it is

 F#m                                    Dsus2                     Esus4
I was only looking for a shortcut home

           E
But it's complicated

 Esus4               E
So complicated


Hope it's right! Enjoy!
