Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

- - - - x2

Riff

Verse

Was it all in real time

Or was it just in my mind

Or was I just a ghost passing through you?

Clinging to the wreckage

Until I got the message

Hanging at the edge of the room

Prechorus

Give me something that's real

Give me half of your bitterest pill

Something from under the surface

You actually feel

Chorus

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in your eyes, in your eyes

They were just easy lies

Verse

The lightest words are heavy

And promises are easy

And no one's ever happy or sad for very long

But just because I said it

It doesn't mean I meant it

I guess that was the way all along

Prechorus

I'm just shaping the sound

I'm just turning the syllables round

Dipping my toe in the water

And watching you drown

Chorus

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

It was in my eyes, in my eyes

They were just easy lies

Bridge

And it's been a long time waiting

And it's been a lifetime in the making

Solo

Chorus

I said when you are alone and afraid

I will come to your aid

Was it just a dream, just a dream

'cos was it real to me

We say these words again and again

But they still sound the same

Say these words again and again

And again and again
