C              Em         Dm    Em
I’m trying too hard to pretend, lately
C                 Em           Dm    Em
Quit changing the rules that I bend, daily
C               Em           Dm      Em
I’m wasting the time that I spend, chasing
C              Em         Dm       Em    F
The you that I hold in my head, escaping

Chorus:
    Em         G        C
you under my skin, I’m sinking
F         Em             G          C       F
Getting stoned with my friends, I think of you
F        Em     G               Am      F
Even the Midas touch, is gonna turn to rust
        Em    G
in the bitter end,
Baby.

The soles of the shoes on my feet, are faded
And all of the people I meet, are waitin'
For letters I’ll never complete, sayin'
The world that I built in my dreams, is cavin' in

Chorus

C          Em           Dm           G       C
Why’d you fuck with my heart, it's plain to see,
C      Em            Dm                   G     C
I was holding on to more than this, could ever be
   Em           Dm       G
I read it but I don’t believe it
C      Em           Dm                 G  F Em G
And I said it but I don’t regret it at all

Chorus
