Verse 1:
^Am The air that you ^G breathe it must be ^D poison
^Bm And you're dressed up in ^A your best dis ^G guise
Bridge 1:
I ^Dsus2/F# don't want to hear what y ^G ou have to say
It's ^Dsus2/F# there in your eyes when y ^G ou look away
These ^Dsus2/F# beautiful words are tu ^G rning ^E/Ab into l ^A ies
Chorus 1:
^Em How can you ^A say that to ^D me
Verse 2:
^Am The light that still ^G shines is just an il ^D lusion
^Bm Just a memory ^A from a burned out ^G star
Bridge 2:
Its ^Dsus2/F# promise has come from ^G so far away
It's ^Dsus2/F# fighting through sadness and y ^G ears of decay
^Dsus2/F# Oh and it's a wonder it e ^G ver m ^E/Ab ade it this ^A far
Chorus 2:
Well now ^Em how can you ^Dsus2/F# say that to ^G me ^A
After ^Em all of those ^Dsus2/F# secrets you ^G let me be ^A lieve
There's no ^Am rose petal ^G air, there's just ^Gm thorns when I ^Dsus2/F# breathe
Well now ^Em how can you ^G say that
Bridge 3:
^Bm It's not this ^F#m silence that screams in my mi ^G nd
Each day I ^Em feel like I'm ^A falling be ^Bm hind
Living in ^F#m shadows, still getting bu ^G rned
When will I ^Gm ever learn
Chorus 3:
Well now ^Em how can you ^Dsus2/F# say that to ^G me ^A
After ^Em all of those ^Dsus2/F# secrets you ^G let me be ^A lieve
There's no ^Am rose petal ^G air, there's just ^Gm thorns when I ^Dsus2/F# breathe
Well now ^Em how can you ^G say that to ^D me
