C#m
Six hours and I feel the same
Black powder and acid rain
         F#m
What's a girl to do?
Be as sweet as you
          C#m
I have to go

You said you're drunk, I said, "I know"
You said you think I'm gonna let you drive home
I've made a list
I think you owe me this
What do you know?

F#m      A                  E
If you close your eyes and listen to
        F#                 A
what's right outside your door
     B              C#
You won't be giving in

Chorus:
C#m
Go ahead, just cover it up
                    F#m
Let's pretend we're ordinary
G#m
We could be in heaven
         F#m
But it's never enough
     C#m
It's mine
C#m
If the world's so mysterious
C#m/B         F#/A#
How can we be ordinary?
B
Everything is easy
      A
Everybody is stuck
           C#m
And that's fine

Go ahead, just cover it up
Let's pretend we're ordinary
We could be in heaven
But it's never enough
It's mine

If the world's so mysterious
How can we be ordinary?
Everything is easy
Everybody is stuck
And that's fine

If you close your mind to what's
happening right outside your door
You're only giving in

Go ahead, just cover it up
Let's pretend we are ordinary
We could be in heaven
But it's never enough
It's mine

B   Amaj7    C#m
How far? How long?
C#m                  F#m
Till this road's overgrown
     Amaj7   C#m
What now? Be strong
       E                      F#m
There must be something going on
                Amaj7                 C#m
Somebody has to know, somebody has to know
  G#m             A
Nobody wants to know
    A#dim   F#m
They got it all

Chorus
