                   A
I never held your gaze
E                 A   E
I never know my place
        D          A
Oh, I stare at the eyes
               E
Starin' at my face
                     A
It always ends in a tie
E                          A
There is no needing the divine
    D         A       E
I cry at the joke explained
                   D               A
Oh, but if I had known, if I had known
           D                E       A     E   A
If I had known, I would've never believed

E                   A
I never smoked my chains
E                      A
Whoever measures the crest
      D       A               E
Oh, they can have my broken chest
                   A
It's a staring contest
E             A                     
In a hall of mirrors
         D         A              E
I sweat tears, but I don't ever cry

                   D               A
Oh, but if I had known, if I had known
           D                E       A     E   A   E
If I had known, I would've never believed

                    A
I never knelt at a noose
E                        A
My pair perished in the pews
    D      A             E
I climbed back into the yoke
                     A
It always ends in a tie
E                          A                  
There is no hitting the design
    D         A       E
I cry at the joke explained

                   D               A
Oh, but if I had known, if I had known
           D                E       A
If I had known, I would've never believed
E                   A
I would've never believed
E                   D     E   A
I would've never believed
