A  Em7                      A
I, feel like I could run a-way
Em7                  D
Looking at a darker day
D       G                    A
Oh I'm pulling the shades a-way from my eyes
A               Em7                    A
It's true, the moody manners come and go,
         Em7                     C
and it's better that you never know

Chorus:
       C6        Fm             C
Some things are better left un-said
       C6         Fm             C
Some strings are better left un-done
      C6        Fm     Fsus4     A
Some hearts are better left un-broken
      C6        Fm              C
Some lives are better left un-touched
     C6       Fm           Em7
Some lies are better off believed,
                Fm              A
some words are better left un-spoken

My ideas seem to frighten you
Are you really that afraid to move
Oh, I guess that it's your right to reason
I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong
The force is stringing us along

Chorus

C6 Em7              C6
 Oh you're livin' a lie,
                        Em7        C6 Em7 Em
that's the only thing I want to say

Ooh, some things are better left
Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings
Some things are better left unsaid
Some lives are better
Some things are better left unsaid
Some hearts are better
Some things are better left unsaid
Some lies are better
Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left
Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings
Some things are better left unsaid
Some lives are better
Some things are better left unsaid
Some hearts are better
Some things are better left unsaid
Some lies are better, ooh
Some things are better left unsaid
Some things are better left
Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings
Some things are better left unsaid
Some lives are better
Some things are better left unsaid
