Tom: Em
Am Em
You see dating's just a tool I use
G
to figure out that I don't love someone.
Am G Em G
Heart is a clock but I just sleep through my alarm.
Am Bm
And now it seems I've finally found someone
Em G
but his heart belongs to someone else.
Am G Em G
I can't stop the hand from turning with my arm.
[Chorus 1]
Am G Em
So it's just another night I cannot sleep.
Am G Em
Just another flashing light I'm forced to see,
Am Em G Em
but at least I've tried. I've tried so hard to close my eyes
A G D Em
and sleep through my screams.
[Instrumental]
Am G Em
Am G Em
Am Em G Em
A G D Em
[Verse 1]
Am Em
Now it seems I've lost myself.
G
What I want today might change as well.
Am G
Chasing my way out of Hell
Em G
with invisible tape on my damaged shell
Am Bm
and he really likes me too, I guess,
Em G
with all those nights we spent undressed.
A G Em G
Hope, to him, I'm not just someone else.
Am Bm
And we listened to the pain we shared
Em G
as we walked and talked in the cold night air
Am G Em E
and I told him he was filling up a void.
Am Bm
I said "Holes they can dig deeply, yes,
Em G
they can eat you up inside your chest so
Am G
listen close while I digest and
Em G
tell you why my eyes are red.
[Chorus 2]
Am G Em
It was just another sign I could not see.
Am G Em
It was just the final time she made me bleed
Am Em G Em
and she saw me cry when I was tired of all her lies,
A G Em
then she turned from me."
[Instrumental]
Am G Em
Am G Em
Am Em G Em
A G D Em
[Verse 2]
Em
Now the stress shows through my face
G
with more tension in my living space.
Am G
Finally come face to face
Em G
with the man I thought would scare me away
Am G
but we stayed up all night like before.
Em G
Each story told made me think more
Am G Em G
that I hope that he will trust in me someday
Am G Em G
cuz I'm not just gonna lie right to his face
Am E Em G
so I hope that I don't make the same mistakes
[Bridge]
Em
But I'll try
C
to decide
G
something for myself
A G A Em
without someone to guide my mind
C
but I'll still deny
G A G Em
that I'd be happier if I kept my mind off "why"
C
Oh, why?
G
Oh, why?
A G Em
Oh, why?
C
Oh, why?
G
Oh, why?
A G Em
Oh, why?
(Keep playing Em throughout)
[Verse 3]
Am G Em
It was just another mask I've come to be.
Am G Em
It was just another insecurity
Am Em G Em
but at least I've tried. You can't deny that I've tried
A G Em
to see objectively.
[Instrumental]
Am G Em
Am G Em
Am Em G Em
A G D Em
Am Em
