C
Don't make me read your mind
C    Em      F
You should know me better than that
C
It takes me too much time
C     Em     F
You should know me better than that

You're not that much like me
You should know me better than that
We have different enemies
But you should know me better than that

Am                                      C
I should leave it alone but you're not right
Am                                      C
I should leave it alone but you're not right

Can't you write it on the wall?
You should know me better than that
There's no room to write it all
You should know me better than that

Can you turn the TV down?
You should know me better than that
There's too much crying in the sound
I should know you better than that

I should leave it alone, but you're not right
I should leave it alone, but you're not right

Chorus:
Am                                 F     C
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
F  C     F  C
Behind  Ohhhhh

You think about something so much
You should know me better than that
Start to slide outta touch
You should know me better than that

Tell yourself it's only noise
You should know me better than that
Learn to appreciate the void
You should know me better than that
