C Em G Am7

[Verse 1]
           C                 Em
I've been keeping little things away from you
      G               Am7
Just outside of your view
       C              Em
I was banking on a mess, I'm bound to this
  G                  Am7
I can't keep playing cool


[Pre-Chorus]
C                              Em
You go on and on and leave me vacant
G                               Am7
Hang me out to dry and call it over
C                        Em
Running out of lies to keep it beating
G                          Am7
You're much better off to walk away


[Chorus]
            C                  Em
I know if I keep it from you, keep it from you (ocean)
G                Am7
Drives around in Malibu
             C                   Em
I know if I tell you the truth, tell you truth (I might)
G                              Am7
Lose you, so it's better if I keep it from you


[Post-Chorus]
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you


[Verse 2]
          C                  Em
When it's easier to lie than tell the truth
       G               Am7
It's like I'm split in two
        C            Em
I'm an enemy of me, not hard to see
    G                  Am7
Got nothing to do with you


[Pre-Chorus]
C                              Em
You go on and on and leave me vacant
G                               Am7
Hang me out to dry and call it over
C                        Em
Running out of lies to keep it beating
G                          Am7
You're much better off to walk away


[Chorus]
            C                  Em
I know if I keep it from you, keep it from you (ocean)
G                Am7
Drives around in Malibu
             C                   Em
I know if I tell you the truth, tell you truth (I might)
G                              Am7
Lose you, so it's better if I keep it from you


[Post-Chorus]
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you


[Pre-Chorus]
C                              Em
You go on and on and leave me vacant
G                               Am7
Hang me out to dry and call it over
C                        Em
Running out of lies to keep it beating
G                          Am7
You're much better off to walk away


[Chorus]
            C                  Em
I know if I keep it from you, keep it from you (ocean)
G                Am7
Drives around in Malibu
             C                   Em
I know if I tell you the truth, tell you truth (I might)
G                              Am7
Lose you, so it's better if I keep it from you


[Post-Chorus]
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you
C Em
    Better, better
G Am7
    Better if I keep it from you
