Chords with lyrics

Standard Tuning ; No Capo

     D MajorD
With your head held high,
  A augmentedA            B minorBm
Pretend that you're alright without me.
    D MajorD        A augmentedA        B minorBm
And I'm better now that I'm without your fears.
     D MajorD     A augmentedA   B minorBm    G+G
And I'll write this down, sound it out.
  G+G             A augmentedA         D MajorD
And pretend there's something more left in your town.


   D MajorD      A augmentedA           B minorBm
I'll sit through months away from home without you.
  D MajorD      A augmentedA      B minorBm
And 4,000 miles away is all I need,
      G+G
For you to realize what you need.
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
But you're clean cut and exposed,
     B minorBm         G+G
And I've never felt more at home.
     G+G             A augmentedA         D MajorD
But I'll pretend there's something more left in your town.

D MajorD         A augmentedA
I'm falling in and out of love,
B minorBm            G+G
Finally stopping what we were made of.
D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm     G+G
"Oh, oh, you're done."
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
By summer I'll have you on your knees,
   B minorBm        G+G
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth.
     G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And it's oh so typical but what I need.

  D MajorD           A augmentedA
I'm writing books through letters,
     B minorBm        G+G
That I'm sure you'll never read.
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
I'm searching through a postcard,
    B minorBm      G+G
To find any trace of me.
      G+G         A augmentedA
But you've traded thoughts of me,
     D MajorD          B minorBm
For this new life that comes cheap.
     G+G      A augmentedA         G+G
And I can only pray it falls beneath your feet.

D MajorD         A augmentedA
I'm falling in and out of love,
B minorBm            G+G
Finally stopping what we were made of.
D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm     G+G
"Oh, oh, you're done."
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
By summer I'll have you on your knees,
   B minorBm        G+G
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth.
     G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And it's oh so typical but what I need.


D MajorD      A augmentedA       B minorBm
You're done is just what I need,
  G+G      A augmentedA        G+G
And your violent attempts to come clean.



D MajorD         A augmentedA
I'm falling in and out of love,
B minorBm            G+G
Finally stopping what we were made of.
D MajorD  A augmentedA   B minorBm     G+G
"Oh, oh, you're done."
  D MajorD          A augmentedA
By summer I'll have you on your knees,
   B minorBm        G+G
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth.
     G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
And it's oh so typical but what I need.

D MajorD
"You're done."

  A augmentedA      B minorBm    G+G    D MajorD
Is just what I need
