              Intro: C#5 D5 C#5 D5 C#5 
 
C#5 
Tell me how it feels to live a lie 
E5 
Tell me do you know that it won't ever be the same 
           B5                 A5    G#5 C#5/G# E5  C#5 
You can't deny, the house of cards just  hit   the floor 
 
( A5 G#5 ) 
 
C#5 
Don't tell me you can save it in the end 
E5 
There's nothing you can do 
                                                    B5 
'Cause when it's gone, you know it won't come back again 
              A5 G#5 C#5/G# E5 C#5 
But you don't listen   a....ny.more 
 
( A5 G#5 )

If only I had said this long ago 
E5                                                                  B5 
If only I had found a way to tell you all the things you should've known 
              A5   G#5  C#5/G# E5   C#5 
But you were lost right from   the start 
 
( A5 G#5 ) 
 
C#5 
How the hell are you the one to blame? 
E5 
You've done no wrong, you gave it all 
                                  B5 
So why the hell did you have to change? 
                A5   G#5 C#5/G#  E5   C#5 
You broke your back, she broke  your heart
