Chorus:
E
Don't you tell me you're fine,
                       F#
I can tell when you're lying
                       B
Caught you slipping on ice but
                  G#m
your heart is on fire
'Cause I noticed your scars and
I know that it's hard
And I hope you don't start getting
all fucking quiet
'Cause we made it so far,
I don't wanna restart
Recollecting these sparks,
reconnecting these wires
'Cause I'm scared of the dark,
can we skip to the part
Where you fall in my arms and
you tell me you're tired?

G#m       E
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
B
You can tell me you're tired
G#m       E                   B
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

G#m                     E
Last night you looked quite alright
         B
But you seem so formal all the time
'Cause you laugh and smile
But you never cry, so why are you tired?
We go where we want to go
And we call whatever we want home
And we wonder why they never leave us on our own

Chorus:
Don't you tell me you're fine,
I can tell when you're lying
Caught you slipping on ice but
your heart is on fire
'Cause I notice your scars and
I know that it's hard
And I hope you don't start
getting all fucking quiet
'Cause we made it so far,
I don't wanna restart
Recollecting these sparks,
reconnecting these wires
'Cause I'm scared of the dark,
can we skip to the part
Where you fall in my arms and
you tell me you're tired?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You can tell me you're tired
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

They say you're better off by yourself
But they never understood just how you felt
When the beat dies down and your soul just melts
And you don't have to hold back tears
'Cause after everything I'm here for you
There's nothing you should fear

Chorus:
Don't you tell me you're fine,
I can tell when you're lying
Caught you slipping on ice but
your heart is on fire
'Cause I notice your scars and
I know that it's hard
And I hope you don't start getting
all fucking quiet
'Cause we made it so far,
I don't wanna restart
Recollecting these sparks,
reconnecting these wires
'Cause I'm scared of the dark,
can we skip to the part
Where you fall in my arms and
you tell me you're tired?

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
You can tell me you're tired
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
