G#                         D#        D#  A#
I see the lack of care in your eyes
G#                         D#  D#  A#
 I feel the rain when you sing
G#                    Fm       D#  A#
 So I'll apologise a third time
G#                        D#  D#   A#
 When I didn’t do anything
G#                          D#     D#  A#
 Something about you was a work trick
G#                            D#  D#  A#
 But now you're pulling the plug
G#                                 Fm    D#/ A#
 Your talk is cheap when you're expensive
G#                       A#
 I think we’ve had enough

Chorus:
D#                       G#
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Cm                D#    G#
Was I a fool for ever thinking I could get you
to stay?
D#
Been thinking we we're all that
G#
Still on the fast track
Cm                                A#
Guess I'm the one who's caught up by getting
          D#  D#  A# G#
carried away

I gave you my heart as a keepsake
But it wasn't worth a damn
You're one to talk when you were two faced
And I gave them both a chance
I'll be the one who's lifting me up
I think we've had enough

Chorus

G#sus2      A#sus4               Cm7
I'll be the one who's lifting me up
             A#sus4         G#sus2
Took far too long for me to see
        A#sus4                  Cm7
If only I knew what we would become
             A#sus4 D#  D#  A#
I'd know to leave
G#                         D#     D#  A#
I see the lack of care in your eyes
G#
I think we’ve had enough

Chorus:
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Was I a fool for ever thinking
I could get you to stay?
Been thinking we were all that
Still on the fast track
Guess I'm the one who’s caught up
By getting carried away
Where were you when the world stopped turning?
Was I a fool for ever thinking
I could get you to stay?
Been thinking we were all that
Still on the fast track
Guess I'm the one who's caught up
By getting carried a-
Guess I'm the one who's caught up and carried away
