Intro:

C#m  A  B  C#m  A B  A  B
 
Verse 1:

C#m
You're not running just enough of a wreck
         A                    B
To hold the hurt heart everybody expects
  C#m
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess
  A                            B
Misunderstood's an understatement at best

Pre-Chorus:
C#m                        A                
How long, how long will you demand my sympathy?
B                         A              B
We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to?

A                             B                
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
  G#m                    F#m  
No one's buying it anyway


Chorus:

C#m                              A                                E
You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind
                        G#m                     B
(Woah) But the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know
C#m                                      A
You can fight just like you've been taught
                                E
It won't undo the life you've got
                  G#m                           B
(Woah) 'Cause the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know

C#m  A  B  

(Verse 1)

Pre-Chorus 2:

C#m      
You say you try,
    A
You're after something better
B
It doesn't show,
   A               B
You're still not put together

A                             B                
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
  G#m                    F#m  
No one's buying it anyway


(Chorus)


C#m  A  B

Bridge:

C#m   A      C#m       B        G#m     A
Everybody knows liars never make it for long
                        C#m        B      A    B
I am getting close, I can see just what's going on
              D#m  C#m  B       A   B
Everybody knows, everybody knows (Woah)
C#m   A      C#m       B        G#m     A                                              
I remember what you were before you gave it away 
                             C#m        B         A          B
You've never been the type to watch the pieces fall where they may

And now you've let it go
D#m  C#m   B            A     B
     But I know you know (Woah)

C#m    A   E

                        G#m
But the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know
