Capotraste na 8ª casa Intro: E
 
C#m                   G#m        B
Life is much too short to sit and wonder
B               C#m    B  C#m
Who's gonna make the next move
            E
and will slowly pull you under
B                  C#m           B  A
when you've always got something, prove?
 
A            E
I don't want to wait a lifetime
    B        C#m    B  A
Yours or mine, yours or mine
                   E
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
    B C#m         A   E
Your lifeline, your lifeline
    B C#m         A   E
Your lifeline, the lifeline
 
   C#m            G#m   B
You say that I misheard you
            C#m    B C#m
but I think you misspoke
             E
I hear you laugh so loudly
B               C#m      B  A
while I patiently await the joke
 
               E
I don't want to wait a lifetime
   B        C#m    B
Not Yours, not mine
 A                   E
Can't you see me reaching for the lifeline?
    B C#m         A   E
The lifeline, the lifeline
    B C#m         A  D C B C D C B C G F# F F# G F# F  C#m
Your lifeline, your life
 
C#m              G#m    B
It's a crime with only victims
            C#m  B  C#m
We're all laid out in a row
           E    B
It's hardest to listen
            C#m    B A
to what we already should know
 
A               E
I could hold out for a lifetime
      B        C#m  B  A
Yours or mine, yours or mine
A                      E
Can't you see me reaching for your lifeline?
    B C#m         A   E
your lifeline, your lifeline
    B C#m         A   E
the lifeline, the lifeline
     B C#m         A       B   C  D  E
your lifeline, your life, your life
