       C             F             G      F  F
Gonna' find a way to keep this civilized.
 
     Am                 G               F
It'd help if you'd just tell me what to say.
     Am                 G           F
It'd help if you'd just tell me anything.

Am 
 You fall back
G
 On anger now,
C                 F
 Swear you are forgiven.
           C               
Your anger suits you,
            G
It makes you beautiful
          Am 
Gives you confidence
                   F
To come at me with more than your bare hands.
C            G
 Not here to break you,
            Am                         F
But all the words tonight are careful, chosen, hurting kind;
C                       G                         Am
 I'm tryin' to say that I, I'm tryin' to say that I,
                  F
I'm tryin' to say that I've stopped tryin'.
C             G
 If you rise above,
               Am
If you rise at all,
                  F
It'll probably be now.
