I think I might be a fortune teller
I read your face just like a letter
The funny thing about forever
Is it comes with a side of never, never

Fm
I can't buy into what you're sellin'
A#m
And no, it's not that I don't want it
D#                                Fm
Believe me, I'd love to close my eyes, enjoy the ride
But you reek of indecision and I

Fm
I know, I know, I know,
I know, I know, I know

Chorus:
                  C#
You're only gonna let me down
G#       D#              Fm
When it counts, you countdown
                   C#
You're only gonna turn me out
G#    D#             Fm
As I burn, you burn out
                   C#               G#
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
        D#                   Fm
But when I think we could be something
            C#         G#       D#
You go and let me down, let me down
Oh

I am too smart to let you in here
But I'm just dumb enough to linger
I wanna think that you'll be different
Smoke and mirrors are so clever, clever
I'll pretend that things aren't so bad
That what you say will actually happen
I've been dyin' to open my eyes
See you try instead of always leaving me out to dry

Chorus

Fm                   G#
I need to be there when you say you're gonna be
   D#                   A#m
I care too much and you care enough to leave
  C#                          G#
I want some place to rest my head without worrying
          D#
It's not fair (it's not fair) it's not fair (it's not fair)
A#m
It's not fair to me cause i know by now

Chorus:
You're only gonna let me down (Let me down)
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
(You're only gonna turn me out)
As I burn, you'll burn out
You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
(You're only gonna make me feel so crazy)
Right when I think we could be something
(We could be something)
You'll go and let me down
(You'll go and let me down)
Let me down (Let me down)
You're only gonna let me down
When it counts, you'll count down
You're only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you'll burn out

You're only gonna make me feel so crazy
Right when I think we could be something
(We could be something)
You'll go and let me down
Let me down, oh
