Gm                      A#
We stumble in a tangled web
                             F
Decaying friendships almost dead
                           C
And hide behind a mask of lies

We twist and turn and we avoid
All the hope of salvage now devoid
I see the truth inside your eyes

    Gm            A#               F
so take all this noise into your brain
             C
and send it back again
Gm             A#            F
i'll bear the cost shed my skin
         C
call you up and then
i'll say the words out loud

Chorus:
Gm                      A#
you could resurrect a thousand words
      C                 F
to deceive me more and more
Gm                              A#
a thousand words will give the reasons
             C           F
why i don't need you anymore

Well, time manipulates your heart
Preconceptions torn apart
Begin to doubt my state of mind
But I won't go down on what I said
I won't retract, convictions read
I may perplex but I'm not blind

So take all this noise to your brain
Send it back again
I'll bear the cost, shed my skin,
call you up, and then
I'll say the words out loud

Chorus

Gm                      A# F
i'll say the words out loud i'll say
                     C
a thousand words or more
Gm
manipulation fabrication
A#
conversation annihilation
F                             C
i'll say a thousand words or more
Gm
damnation frustration
A#
elevation procreation
F                             C
i'll say a thousand words or more
