[Verse 1]
        Cmaj7
Well I know I was the rose
           Em/C#
But now I feel like I'm the thorn
       Cmaj7            B7
And I can't get enough distance just to
Gmaj7          Cmaj7
See that I am worn

              Cmaj7
And if it's evidence enough
            Em/C#
Or if it's all been overblown
           Cmaj7      B7
I'm gonna need some distance
Gmaj7 Cmaj7
On my own
           Cmaj7     B7
I'm gonna need some distance
Gmaj7  Cmaj7
Time alone

[Prechorus]
        Cmaj7         B7
It's a shame, it's a shame
        G         Cmaj7
My foundation isn't solid
        Cmaj7         B7        Em7
Always cracking underneath me
         Cmaj7      B7
It's so hard, so unnatural to be
G             Cmaj7
Two people at once;
        Cmaj7      B7       Em
Does it ever run smoothly?

        Cmaj7          B7
It's a shame, it's a shame
        G            Cmaj7
My foundation isn't solid
         Cmaj7        B7       Em7
Always cracking underneath me
         Cmaj7      B7
It's so hard, so unnatural to be
G             Cmaj7
Two people at once;
        Cmaj7      B7    Em
Does it ever end truly?
        Cmaj7      B7    Em7
Does it ever end truly?
        Cmaj7      B7    G  Cmaj7
Does it ever end truly?
