Capo on 4th fret
              
 
 
G                 Em 
I'm on the phone, you turn your back on me 
G                    Em 
And we're all alone, why is this happening? 
G                  Em 
I, I never thought   I would be questioning 
D 
The one I, one I love 
 
G              Em 
But here we are  wrapped up in silence 
G                       Em 
Can we sound the alarm? Most of its fighting 
G                          Em 
I don't know where to start  I keep colliding with 
D 
The one I, one I love 
 
 
Am                              D 
Don't make it so hard for me to stay 
 
C 
You should know better than that 
 
G         Em 
And before  you go on breaking my heart 
G         Em 
And I fall even deeper in love 
G           Em 
And my lungs screaming out 
C 
"Can you hear me?!" 
C 
You should know better than that 
G               Em            D 
And here we are, here we are, ohhh 
 
G                Em 
If I could leave, I would be leaving 
G                       Em 
Because I cannot believe what I am hearing 
        G            Em 
Tell me how can it be I'm second guessing on 
D 
The one I, one I love 
 
 
Am                              D 
Don't make it so hard for me to stay 
 
C 
You should know better than that 
 
 
G         Em 
And before  you go on breaking my heart 
G         Em 
And I fall even deeper in love 
G           Em 
And my lungs screaming out 
C 
"Can you hear me?!" 
C 
You should know better than that 
G               Em            D 
And here we are, here we are, ohhh 
G            Em            D 
Here we are, here we are again 
 
G                 Em 
Some forgive just to forget 
G           Em 
I've not forgotten yet 
G                   D 
I still believe in you 
G                      Em 
But there's a crack in our cement 
G                D          D 
This time it's permanent, permanent 
 
 
C 
You should know 
 
C 
You should know better than that 
 
G         Em 
And before  you go on breaking my heart 
G         Em 
And I fall even deeper in love 
G           Em 
And my lungs screaming out 
C 
"Can you hear me?!" 
C 
You should know better than that 
G               Em            D 
And here we are, here we are, ohhh 
G            Em            D 
Here we are, here we are again 
 
C 
You should know better than that 
G               Em            D 
And here we are, here we are, ohhh 
G            Em           D 
Here we are, here we are again 
 
C 
You should know better than that
