E
Mad in a way
      C#m
but I don't say
It's what you're
A
used to
I got the words
             B
but can't convey
E             C#m
I know you'll turn
         A
it all around
It's the rhythms that
          B
you go through
E                 C#m
Get it back and you're
not obliged to say
A
Not intact but you're
               B
better off anyway
E
Somehow it's
C#m          A
never up to me
                 E
What if I would say?
Simple words
          C#m
I can't relate
I don't place
           A
upon your view
           B
It's the rhythms that
you go through

Chorus:
E      C#m     A
I know what I want
          B
You just take me
through the motions
E       C#m    A
I know what I want
            B
And that's more
than you can say
E           B
Since you found me out
C#m        A     B
Since you found me out
E          E/G#
Since you found me out
C#m        A     B
Since you found me out

Your story still remains
It's so unlike you, still, you stay the same
But all the while,
you're counting on your day to come
But nothing ever told you
You would say that it's only for a day
Yesterday's last week, tomorrow's on its way
I'm falling faster all the time

                 E
What if I would say?
       C#m
Simple words
               B/D#
that I can't relate
           A
What came easy
is now too late
           E
And it was always standing
C#m               A
right in front of me

E       C#m    A
I know what I want
You just take me
through the motions
E       C#m    A
I know what I want
And that's more
than you can say

E
All the time you
C#m
thought worth saving
  A
Still end up with
memories fading
E
After all that
    C#m
you wouldn't do
A
It makes no sense
           B
It's the rhythm that
you go through

Chorus:
I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say
I know what I want
You just take me through the motions
I know what I want
And that's more than you can say

E            B
  Since you found me out
C#m          A     B
  Since you found me out
E           E/G#
  Since you found me out
C#m          A     B
  Since you found me out
