Cm          Fm                Ab
   I don't feel the way I've ever felt,
   G  Cm
   I know.
              Fm                 Ab

   Anyone can make what I have built.

[Chorus]
Cm                          Fm
   It's a lie. A kiss with opened eyes,

   And she's not breathing back
                      G
   Anything but bother me.

Oh, oh, oh.

[Verse 2]
Cm          Fm                Ab
   I never thought I'd walk away from you;
   G  Cm
   I did.
              Fm                 Ab
   But it's a false sense of accomplishment
          G      Cm
   Everytime I quit.

      Fm                Ab
   Anyone can see my every flaw,
         G    Cm
   It isn't hard.
