Intro: G+G Am7Am7 C majorC G+G x2


G+G      Am7Am7       C majorC       G+G
What should I do? I am lost.
G+G               Am7Am7            C majorC              G+G
Tell me to leave the next time I'm in front of you
Am7Am7           G+G
I can't relate
G+G        Am7Am7
Chip on your shoulder
G+G           Am7Am7
How do you deal with that weight?
C majorC            G+G
My hands are getting tired.

Am7Am7            C majorC    G+G    Am7Am7           C majorC     G+G
Call it a joke or a lie. Call it a joke or a lie.
Am7Am7               C majorC       G+G        Am7Am7
Put your coat on, then believe me, I try.

Let us escape for a night.
Breathe the silence.
I am alone,
But I am alone in this room with you.

Call it a joke or a lie, call it a joke or a lie.
Put your coat on, then believe me, I tried.
