(intro 2x)  G   Am   Dm   C   F

(verse)
C
Was it all in real time
Or was it just in my mind
(G) Am
Or was i just a ghost passing through you?
(G) C
Clinging to the wreckage
Until i got the message
(G) Am
Hanging at the edge of the room

(pre-chorus)
         G
Give me something that's real
        F
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Em
Something from under the surface
      Dm     F
You actually feel

(chorus)
   G                 Am       Dm
We say these words again and again
     C                   F
But they still sound the same
G              Am            Dm
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
      C             F
They were just easy lies

(verse)
C
The lightest words are heavy
And promises are easy
(G) Am
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
(G) C
But just because i said it
It doesn't mean i meant it
(G) Am
I guess that was the way all along

(pre-chorus)
         G
I'm just shaping the sound
         F
I'm just turning the syllables round
Em
Dipping my toe in the water
    Dm            F
And watching you drown

(chorus)
   G                 Am       Dm
We say these words again and again
     C                   F
But they still sound the same
G              Am          Dm
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
              C      F
They were just easy lies

(bridge)
                Am    F   C  Em
And it's been a long time waiting
                Am    F         F  Em
And it's been a lifetime in the making

(solo) G Am Em C F

(chorus)
G                     Am        Dm
I said when you are alone and afraid
  C                  F
I will come to your aid
G              Am            Dm
Was it just a dream, just a dream
         C          G
'cos was it real to me

   G                 Am       Dm
We say these words again and again
     C                   F
But they still sound the same
G                Am         Dm
Say these words again and again
     C         F
And again and again

(outro) Am
