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
