Intro: Bm  D  G  A

             Bm
And we could ride all night
To the pace of the blinking light
         D           G
Wishing traffic was faster (traffic was faster)
Keeping safe distance  but courting disaster
A         Bm
We could dance all night
To the sounds of a starting fight
          D          G
Hoping change would come around (change would come around)
                                       A
Amazing division  how sweet the sound

Bm
Blame me! Blame me! Blame me!
                                        D
For mistakes you've made but you can't own
G
Hate me  hate me  hate me
                                         A
For every honest word that you've postponed
Bm
Leave me out of this
                       D
Your life's a sinking ship  so
G
Blame me  blame me  blame me
                                           A
For mistakes you've made but you can't own

               Bm
And we could stare all day
At problems that won't go away
   D           G
Silence is pounding (silence is pounding)
You're wearing me down  these corners they're rounding
      A         Bm
Then we could scream all night
With no resolve still left in sight
       D             G
Stop saying you're sorry
                                       A
All of these words feel so very empty

Chorus

G              A
Torturing ourselves  we must be into the abuse
Bm
If you're the rope that ties us together
 A
Please make me a noose
            G
Ask me to leave
Then beg me just to stay
        A
Used to run to my arms  but now I walk away
Bm
Come and go as you please
I'm like a part-time lover with well-worn knees
Well  come on

Chorus

(Bm  D  G  A)
