[Primeira Parte]

C             Em    D
Call it a necessary evil
C                              Em              D
Breaking your heart's the only way we might survive
C             Em     D
We are just ordinary people
C                          Em              D
Don't always get the happy ending we would like

[Pré-Refrão]

C                    D
We can't keep on playing this song
Em                      D
We can't move on, so we make up
    C             D
And carry on like nothing's wrong
Em                 D
How long before we face up?

[Refrão]

D                   C
You and I are like oil and water
Em
Clash at every corner
D
Why can't we walk away?
D
Why can't we walk away?
D                  C
You and I are like oil and water
Em
Plain and pure disaster
D
Why can't we walk away?
D
Why can't we walk away?

[Segunda Parte]

C                 Em     D
I can't deny I've got an ego
C                                 Em              D
And you pushed the buttons no one else could ever find
C                           Em D
It ain't like we're lacking in emotion
C                          Em             D
We've been the opposite of happy for some time

[Pré-Refrão]

[Terceira Parte]

C                  Em     D
Call it the lesser of two evils
C                            Em            D
Those silver linings getting harder now to find
C                       Em  D
Why are we fighting for the wheel?
C             C                        D
Why can't you walk away? Why can't you walk away?
