Cm
Won't somebody come along
     A#6                    G#maj7
And teach me how to keep it alive,
           A#6 Cm
To survive?
                            A#6
Come along and show me something
                          G#maj7
That I never knew in your eyes
               A#6   Cm
Take away the tourniquet

I used to be so full of my confidence
I used to know just what I wanted
And just where to go
a, more than ever I could use a coincidence
But now I walk alone and talk about it when I know

Chorus:
Cm        A#6       G#maj7
Hey, awe yeah, how long?
                         A#6
I guess I ought to walk away
Cm        A#6      G#maj7
Hey, awe yeah, so long
                    A#6  Cm
What you gonna do today?

Cm             A#             F
I don't wanna have to, but I will
D#                               Cm
If that's what I'm supposed to do
Cm              A#             F
We don't wanna set up for the kill,
D#
But that's what I'm about to do

Let it on, I'll cut you off
When you're screaming into the phone
Hard to own
Anyway, I wanna let you know
That everything is on hold
What you gonna do to me?

You used to be so warm and affectionate
All the little things I used to hear my fairy say
But now you're quick to get into your regret
I'll take the fall and now you got to give it all away

Chorus

I don't wanna have to, but I will
If that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what I'm about to do

I don't wanna have to, but I will
If that's what I'm supposed to do
We don't wanna set up for the kill
But that's what I'm about to do

Fm                             D#
Hey, what would you say if I stayed?
                       C#
Stay for a while, if I may
                       G#
Say it again and I'll come around
     A#
But not for the last time

Hey, what would you say if I changed?
I'll change everything but my name
Play it again and I'll come around, come around
But not for the last time, not for the last time

You used to be so warm and affectionate
I used to know just what I wanted and just where to go
And now you're quick to get into your regret
And now I walk alone and talk about it when I know
