[Verse 2]
C#m        B           
  I see it eat through 
      F#    E
  every word I sow
C#m             B          
  See what you need to, do 
     F#        E
  you doubt it's yours?
                     C#m B
Now I’m learning the ropes
      F#      E
Never get this close
                    C#m B
I've been wounded before
       F#    E
Hasn't let me go
C#m                 B      
It never got less strange, 
               F#   E
showing anyone just a bare 
face
                  C#m     
If I don’t, well, nothing 
            B
will change
                 F#     
Staying under my weather 
     E
all day

  Can I believe you when

  you say I'm good?

  I wished you would
             C#m  B
No, it isn't enough
      F#       E
Never held that much
                C#m B
Now another way up
       F#     E
Been a row too rough
C#m                 B      
It never got less strange, 
               F#   E
showing anyone just a 
bare face

[Bridge]
C#m                   D#m
Lately, I'm wondering too
C#m                       B
What type of desire I can break
C#m                         
When I'm one way with them, 
         D#m
one with you
C#m                   B
What half is it of me rearranged?
