       A
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
        C#m                  B
I don't wanna hear you going on about it
      A
Just save me from another year
                   C#m
Looking through my rear view mirror
    B                C#m
No, I don't want that

                 B
Maybe it's just come to an end
E                       A
Don't need to bring us back from the dead
C#m            B
Maybe it just ran its course
      E                   A
And trying too hard only makes me feel

Chorus:
                       F#m
Like we're a lost cause
                         E        F#m
Like we're betting on a dead horse
                         A        F#m
I try reaching out with both arms
                          E
For something that never was
                         F#m
For something that never was

Don't tell me what I wanna hear
I don't wanna hear you still going on about it
'Cause lately, I don't have the tears
My conscience hasn't been this clear
And it makes me feel

Chorus

A                           F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
E                           F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
A                           F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
E                           F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out

C#m              B
Maybe it's just come to an end
E                       A
Don't need to bring it back from the dead
C#m            B
Maybe it just ran its course
      E                   A
And trying too hard only makes it worse

I feel
F#m       E
    I feel
F#m
    I feel

Chorus

Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
