verse:
 H                                  E 
Building dreams has always been my way
 C#m             C#             E/F# - F#
Making time and living for the day
 H                              E
Burning bridges never made me cry
C#m            C#              E/F# - F#
I could walk away with no goodbye
H                            E
Easy take or easy leave them all
  C#m                  C#            E/F# - F#
'til you scratch the writing on the wall


chorus:
     E                      H-F#
It's on and off and on again
 E             H
Going on and then
 E 
Taking all I got again
  H/D#       C#/F        F# 
Bleeding me leaving me dry
        E                          H-F#
You're hanging on for what you can
  E               H
Dragging out the pain
 E 
Taking all I give again
 H/D#     C#/F       F# 
Fakin it making me cry

verse:
One day someday I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears

chorus:
It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry
