Am            G
I will do without
D/F#              F
The spaces in between
Am                  G
If you can tell me now
D/F#              F
What it means to be

Am                   G
You have been found out
D/F#           F
I have been deceived, by the one that I need

Chorus:
C
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
          G/B
How'd you get so high while you're keeping me low
Am                   F
You don't know, you don't know
C
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
       G/B
You're ready to fly
     E7       Am
I'm ready to crash
Am
Don't go don't go, no

You will go without
The better part of me
There will be no doubt
What this all could mean

You will be found out
I can not believe, in the one that I need

Chorus:
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high? Why you're keepin' me low?
You don't know
You don't know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Don't go away

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high? Why you're keepin' me low?
You don't know
You don't know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go

Tell me why you gotta be so cold
Tell me anything about you I don't know
Yeah, I don't know by now
Know by now
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly, I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go
