Bm                         A
No more questions no more lies
Bm                        A
Do and deal for no surprises
       G           A  Bm
Cause you will never slip away
G                 A
Slip away in the night

Waiting patient for the sun to rise
It reveals a stoic smile
But you will never slip away
Slip away in the night

Chorus:
G               A   Bm
You find me waiting here for you
 D                  A
Come and suffer here
G               A       Bm
You find me holding my breath for you
 D               A
Come and suffer here

In the violence of a mind's eye
We had a deal for no surprises
Cos you will never slip away
Slip away in the night

G               D/F#
But you're not yourself

But you're not yourself

I know you better than you

Chorus:
You'll find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You'll find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way

D D/F# G               Bm      F#m      G
       Don't you lie down, be still in love

       Don't you leave now, be still

Chorus:
You find me holding my breath for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way
You'll find me on my knees for you
It's never more than I can take
I wouldn't have it any other way

But you're not yourself
I know you better than you
And you're not yourself
I know you better than you
