D     D/Ab /A D/B     D       E            E* E** G
youll take ad-vantage til you think you’re being used
D      D/Ab /A D/B        E     E*   E** G
cos without an enemy your anger gets confused

but its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose





D      D/Ab /A D/B      D     E       E*  E** G
theres no   es-cape for you except in someone else
D D/Ab   /A    D/B     D    E          E* E** G

Bm           Bm7* Bm7      F#7             G*
the invisible ma---n who’s always changing clothes




    D   D/C#  riff1      D* D** D   E*  E**     G    D
its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose




Bm                F#     E**
while i watch you making mistakes
           Bm      F#     Bm
i wish you luck, i really do
Bm7*     D6    Bm  Bm7*    D6    Bm
with the problem, with the puzzle

D  D/Ab /A D/B     D       E    E*  E**  G
a creative thinker who imagined you were more
Bm            Bm7* Bm7   F#7             G*
a new body for yo---u to push around and pose


(for this fill only change the bass note)

    D   D/C#  riff1      D* D** D   E*  E**     G    D
its all about taking the ea--sy way out for you i suppose


Alternate Version:

by ignoring the variations elliott plays on the high e-string you can play it like
that
in this case you wouldn't have to tune your high e-string to an c# just to an Eb!!
and so you could use the classic chords
it sounds good as well and its less complicated


D     D/Ab /A D/B     D       E                  G
youll take ad-vantage til you think you’re being used
D      D/Ab /A D/B        E              G
cos without an enemy your anger gets confused
Bm     Bm7                   F#7          G
i got stuck on the side you know i never chose



    D   D/C#     Bm      D        E          G    D
its all about taking the easy way out for you i suppose
