    Am                 Em
You say it's all in my head
               Am                      Em
and the things I think just don't make sense
             Am                      Em
So where you been then, don't go all coy,
              Am                       Em
don't turn it round on me like it's my fault
           C                G
See I can see that look in your eyes
               C                       G
The one that shoots me each and every time

Chorus:
E    Am                          Em
You grace me with your cold shoulder
         Am                          Em
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her
      C                            G
You shower me with words made of knives
          Am                          B7
Whenever you look at me I wish I was her

These days when I see you
You make it look like I'm see-through
Do tell me why you waste our time
When your heart ain't in it and you're not satisfied
You know I know just how you feel
I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too when

Chorus

 C              G#               G             G#
Time and time again, I play the role of fool (Just for you)
C            G#                 G
Even in the daylight when you think that (I don't see you)
  C               G#               G              G#
Try to look for things I hear but our eyes never find
  C               G#       G
Though I do know how you play

Chorus - x2
