[Verse 1]
You touch me too softly
And I know what that means
That you don't
really love me
As morose as it seems

[Verse 2]
      Bm   A    G   D/G
When I leave
     Bm           A
I'll pull on the last
          G        D/G
 of our strings
      Bm   A    G   D/G
And you'll see
               Bm
That there's always
              A
the next thing
          G
There's always the
   D/G
 next thing

[Chorus]
D               A
I'm cutting our ties
                 G
That's all I can do
G
Don't blame me
D              A
Don't act surprised
              G
It's only for you
    D
The best of our times
         F#
Were the worst of
your life
G
Tell me who you're
 lying to
D          A
Cover your eyes
                     G
But peer through the lines
             A
Cause when I cry
A
It's only for you
[Verse 3]
Bm  A        G          D/G
       All I did was agree
Bm              A
To mask all the missteps
    G      D/G
For our chemistry
Bm  A         G
       Was it all you
        D/G
 had dreamed?
    Bm        A
Was I all you hate but
     G             D/G
 you knew that I'd be

[Bridge]
No this path never stops
And I'm already sick
Of the next mountain top
No this high couldn't last
In a moment it'll move on
And stay in the past
We were never in love
So when we were fcking
who were you thinking of?
No I'm never enough
And I'll fall from your hands
Straight into your gloves

[Outro]
Bm A       G            D/G
   No this path never stops
         Bm     A
And I'm already sick
       G             D/G
Of the next mountain top
Bm A       G              D/G
   No this high couldn't last
     Bm            A
In a moment it'll move on
    G            D/G
And stay in the past
Bm  A        G        D/G
    We were never in love
Bm               A
So when we were fcking
          G             D/G
who were you thinking of?
Bm  A         G    D/G
    No I'm never enough
          Bm            A
And I'll fall from your hands
          G          D/G
Straight into your gloves
