Intro C G E F 

verse 1 
C               G 
I am just another fool 
E               F 
and I have to keep telling myself that 
C               G 
I am just a hypocrite 
E               F 
and I have to keep calling you one 
C               G 
and/'cause I forgot to bite my tongue 
E               F 
as/and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes 

Bridge 
C       G 
so I assume the role, 
A               F       G 
open my mouth, and clumsy words escape 

Chorus 
C           
So why you 
Bb 
wanna be there? 
F 
when you could be here 
G 
you are slipping away 

verse 2 
C               G 
I awake with your replacement 
E        
a bottle in my grasp 
F 
in an unfamiliar place 
C 
'cause you put me out 
G 
the butt of your sick joke 
E 
into this ashtray life 
F 
as you come and go 
C                       G 
'cause I forgot to service you 
E 
and we broke down 
F 
and you can't live with my mistakes 

Bridge 
C           G 
so I assume false grace 
A 
open my arms 
F               G 
and grasp at something true 

Chorus 
C           Bb 
how are ya, how have you been 
F 
girl I miss you 
G 
wanna see you again 
C          Bb 
oh why ya, wanna be there? 
F 
when you could be here 
G 
girl I'm slipping away 



C               G 
I bring out the worst in you 
E               F 
and you try to let me know 
C               G 
you bring out the worst in me 
E       F 
anxiety, anxiety 
C               G 
I'm trying to let you go 
E               F 
you say I'm giving you the creeps 

Bridge 
C       G               A 
so/but I assume the role, open my Claws 
F       G 
and grasp for your heart 

Chorus  
C           Bb 
How are ya, how have you been 
F               G 
girl I miss you, wanna see you again 
C         Bb 
into you, like a mortal stake 
F               G 
so vindictive, girl I'm slipping away 

Chorus (Double time, play each for half as long as earlier) 
C       Bb  F           G 
(Violins)...Into this ashtray life 
C       Bb  F           G

C       Bb  F           G 
(Violins)...I'm trying hard to let you go
