C                 F                  C 
Lately, I've been thinking about the past 
          F             C 
How there is no holding back 
   F        C       G 
No point in wasting sorrow 
   F                         C 
On things that won't be here tomorrow 

C                   F                C 
But you and I, well we don't need to speak 
        F             C 
It's a secret that we keep 
       F       C    G 
How do you and I decide? 
F                             C 
Just say when and we'll say goodnight 

F            C   G   F 
Tell me it's oka-----y 
                  C   G   F 
To live life this wa-----y 
            C           G 
Sometimes I want you to stay 
              F      C 
I know it's a shame 
F     C 
Shame 
F     C     G 
Shame

C           F             C 
Now I spend so much of my time 
      F         C 
Going out of my mind 
       F       C     G 
Try so hard to be amused 
F                            C 
But what you cannot gain you lose 

C          F                C 
In LA, the sun's almost too bright 
  F             C 
I cannot get it right 
    F     C     G 
The emptiness I feel 
F                        C 
And now none of it seems real 

F          C    G    F 
Maybe it's alri----ght 
                    C   G   F 
If I just spend the ni----ght 
                 C                  G 
Sometimes I just can't bear to walk away 
              F      C 
I know it's a shame 
F     C 
Shame 
F     C    G 
Shame

F   C         G 
Who have I become? 
F   C      G   D7 
Who will I become tomorrow? 

F             C   G   F 
Tell me it's oka-----y 
                C   G   F 
If I ask you to sta-----y 
              C                            G 
Sometimes the night cuts through me like a knife 
              F      C 
I know it's a shame 
C             F      C 
I know it's a shame 
C             F      C     G 
I know it's a shame 

F   C 
Sha--me 
F   C     G 
Sha--me
