Intro: C G Em D  x4

         G
I said, "Everybody's headed out to La,
                      Em
But I hate to see you suffer.
You love New York in the summer."
         G
So let's gather up the pieces of this broken, wilted thing.
          Em
It's worth the struggle.
I just ache to touch you.

     D             Em  C     D
I've always wanted you too close.


           C      G      Em              D
And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
     C       G   Em                  D
Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it.
C                   G
We won't survive on this borrowed time;
Em               D
I don't know why you'd wanna try.
         C      G     Em            D           C      G      Em  D
I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"


   G
I catch a glimpse of fingernails with cracked pink polish,
               Em
Tapping out a rhythm,
I'm just wondering what you're thinking.
           G
There's a faded photograph of someone else you used to love.
               Em
Can't stop from wishing,
That you'd just forget him.


     D             Em  C     D
I've always wanted you too close.


           C      G      Em              D
And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
     C       G   Em                  D
Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it.
C                   G
We won't survive on this borrowed time;
Em               D
I don't know why you'd wanna try.
         C      G     Em            D           C      G      Em
I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"
    D           C  G  Em D
All these white lies.


   D  
I remember the night, the hotel bed,
You cried out loud.
                   Em   G   C
You were still in love with me.
         D
Through time and space, oh, everything,
                                            Em    G  C
You've wasted all your precious dreams and faith, it seems.
          D
Needless crying...


           C      G      Em              D
And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
     C       G   Em                  D
Well I don't mind if you build your dreams around it.
C                   G

Em               D
I don't know why you'd wanna try.
         C      G     Em            D 
I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time?"

           C      G      Em              D
And I said Why, why, why, is it hard to sleep without you?
     C       G   Em                  D

         C      G     Em            D           C      G      Em  D
I said, "Why, why, why do we waste time on these white lies?"
                C   G  Em  D   C
All these white lies
