Cadd9: x  3  2  0  3  3

[G6  Bm  C  Em9] x2


[Verse 1]

G
Can't escape this endless cycle that won't stop spinning in my head
Cadd9
And every night you some how wore me right back to this regret
G6                 Bm
And I hold my tongue
                                 C            Em9
You cut it out, and I can't accept
          G
And you close the window tonight
                           C
The cold still settles in
                                                     G6
And I cover up, and you see right through my argument
             Bm                              C          Em9
And all the while you sit and wonder where I've been


[Chorus]
Em7                            Cadd9
Can't seem to make this go away
                              G
This never-ending price I pay
                                     F#m                                 Em7
And I've got hope for this, 'cause I know somehow, I'll see the light of day
               Cadd9
And every time I wake I'm thinking of you
G                                    F#m                  G6
Don't leave it up to me, 'cause I'll close my eyes for good

[G6   Bm   C   Em9]

[Post-Chorus]
                G6        Bm
Sometimes I wish I could
                  C         Em7
Sometimes I think I should
                  ^ He quickly mutes all strings during the "I" and resumes with the C

[Verse 2]
G
Can't escape this endless cycle
                       Cadd9
Stop fucking with my head
                                                      G6
And all my patience is thin but I can't outrun all of my sins
        Bm                                       C          Em9
And my heart won't leave cement, but they'll say I did
G
And I take it all

You just break it off
          Cadd9
Still not giving up


[Chorus]
Em7                            Cadd9
Can't seem to make this go away
                              G
This never-ending price I pay
                                     F#m                                 Em7
And I've got hope for this, 'cause I know somehow, I'll see the light of day
               Cadd9
And every time I take I'm thinking of you
G                                    F#m                   G
Don't leave it up to me, 'cause I'll close my eyes for good

[G6   Bm   C   Em9] x2

[Verse 3]
G
Can't escape this endless cycle that won't stop spinning in my head
Cadd9
And every night you some how wore me right back to this regret
G6                 Bm
And I hold my tongue
                                 C            Em9
You cut it out, and I can't accept
                 G
Why won't you forget?
