Em
Don't mean to
scare you but i've
C               D
i've not been sleeping lately
Em              C
and phone calls aren't
       D
doing much to help
Em
so if it's all the same i'd
C            D
just ask to never have to
Em        C          G        D
offer explanation or excuse again

Chorus:
          Em    G      D
we make believe every day
            Am
we make our lives seem like
          C
they're still worth living
        Em       G      D
when we find out in the end
          C                   B
it's only us that we've been kidding

So find the darkest place and
Search under blankets for me
Smothering myself in this darkness
I am lying down tonight and
You're not lying with me
But honesty doesn't sit so well on you
Some things you just can't fake

Chorus:
          Em    G      D
we make believe every day
            Am
we make our lives seem like
          C
they're still worth living
        Em       G      D
when we find out in the end
          C                   B
it's only us that we've been kidding
      Em       G      D
just another stupid drama
            Am           C
that no one notices but you
        Em    G      D
and you only take an interest
              C               B
when there's nothing else to do

Em D/F# G
         but you
          Em G/B C
won't mind
             D  G
wait for all of it
   Bm       C
i can't go wait
             D
for all of this
Em D/F# G
         but you
          Em G/B C
won't mind
             D  G
wait for all of it
   Bm       C
i can't go wait
             D
for all of this

Chorus
