[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 B7
I stood with my hands open wide
Em A7
Waiting for a sign from your dead eyes
Am
And you stood there
B7
With your mournful sighs
Em A7
Ignoring my, my voice asking why, why
Cmaj7 B7 Em
It took a week for you to speak while I was screaming I
A7
I needed to see eye to eye
Am B7 Em
They said to follow waiting for a crumb but hungry tastes like numb
A7
I was tired
I'm not done
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 B7
And you're so good at acting so good
Em A7
Making sure I'd fall
Am
Blame it on time
B7
Blame it on alcohol
Em
Blame the new social trends
A7
Tell me all good things end
Cmaj7
Say it's your heart
B7
How it was doomed from the start
Em
Call me your perfect girl
A7
Cut me out of your world
Am
Blame it on your life
B7
But I
Em A7
Will blame it on you
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 B7
I told myself that if I tried
Em A7
Harder I could buy your affection
I could try
Am B7
Rumor said if I waited that you'd come 'round soon
Em
But the clock ticked on and you
A7
Turned away you left no clue
[Chorus]
Cmaj7 B7
You're so damn good at acting so good
Em A7
Making me feel small
Am
Blame it on time
B7
Blame it on alcohol
Em
Blame the new social trends
A7
Tell me all good things end
Cmaj7
Say it's your heart
B7
How it was doomed from the start
Em
Call me your perfect girl
A7
Cut me out of your world
Am
Blame it on your life
B7
But I
Em A7
Will blame it on you
[Bridge]
Cmaj7 B7 Em
With burned fingertips I reached for your face
Em A7 Am B7
And like a fool was met again by flames
B7 Em
My mouth rehearsed and almost said your name
A7 A7
But words are just words
Am Am
Silence hurts worse
[Chorus]
Am
So Blame it on time
B7
Blame it on alcohol
Em
Blame the new social trends
A7 A7
Tell me all good things end
Cmaj7
And I'll blame it on her
B7
I'll blame it on me
Em
I'll say I was blind I didn't see
A7
I'll blame the age
Am
I'll blame your past
B7
They tell me this heartache it won't last
Em A7
You can blame it on your life
A7
But I
Cmaj7 B7
You can blame it on your life
B7
But I
Em
Will blame it on
