           F#m             E            D#  G#m
Not like I think about it night after night
             B          E            D#  G#m7
Your name is echoing inside of my mind
               F#m    E
Then I got to know you
                  D#  G#m
Oh, false hopes rule
           B      E
And then I opened
              D#   G#m
Right up to you

            F#m                      E
This stupid act, that things aren't bad
           D#           G#m
We could never be like that
           B                  E
Live far away now, that's no joke
            D#               G#m
No way to reach you when I'm low

Chorus:
F#m     E           D#    G#m
Lying around, daydreaming
 B           E               D#       G#m
Wanting you now, but that's wishful thinking
F#m     E         D#     G#m
Lying around, daydreaming
 B           E               D#       G#m
Wanting you now, but that's wishful thinking

I do remember everything that you said
Won't let that pointless talk stay trapped in my head
Then I got to know you
Oh, false hopes rule
Those days are gone now
You left too soon

This stupid act, that things aren't bad
We could never be like that
Live far away now, that's no joke
No way to reach you when I'm low

Chorus

F#m    E
Everything you said
D#m    G#m
Makes sense to me right now
B         E
You were just straight scared
 D#  G#m
Afraid it might work out

Everything you said
Makes sense to me right now
You were just straight scared
Afraid that it might work out


Chorus

Everything you said (You said)
Makes sense to me right now (Right now)
You were just straight scared (Straight scared)
Afraid that it might work out (Work out)
Everything you said (You said)
Makes sense to me right now (Right now)
You were just straight scared (Straight scared)
Afraid that it might work out
(Afraid that it might work out)
