Intro: F# C# A#m B (2x)
 
Verse 
 
F#         C#             A#m            B 
I was done talking, but I still couldn't sleep 
F#              C#           A#m     B 
I rolled out my medicine, to forget me 
F#                C#                 A#m            B 
I tried not to disappoint you, but I didn't achieve 
G#m            A#m            B       C# 
Cause I have a problem, and I need to get some 
 
B                F#5 E  
I shouldn't waste my time 
G#m              F# 
Having you around 
B             F#5  E 
What was up's gone down 
G#m                               F# 
You take your road, and I'll take mine 
 
Verse 
 
F# C# A#m B (x2) 
 
F#              C#            A#m    B 
I don't want to talk about it unlike you 
F#                   C#            A#m     B 
Your victim hid your character, it defines you 
F#                   C#            A#m     B 
And then you rearrange it, caress it into view 
G#m               A#m         B        C# 
You invent your problems, and then you sell them 
 
 
Pre-Chorus 
 
D#m         C#        A#m     E 
So help me, why can't this be love? 
D#m      C#        A#m       E 
Tell me, why can't this be enough? 
D#m     C#    A#m        E 
When is high ever high enough? 
A#m                      B 
It's all I've ever hoped for 
 
 
    B               F#5  E  
but I shouldn't waste my time 
G#m              F# 
Having you around 
B             F#5  E 
What was up's gone down 
G#m                               F# 
You take your road, and I'll take mine

We belong to a new dawn 
E               B    F#  
So swallow your problems 
E               B   F#  
We belong to a new dawn 
 
 
E                              B 
If she asks should I tell her? 
       F# 
If she asks should I let her know?
