Fm                     Cm
So if you go ,And leave recklessly
       D#
We can only be me, We can only be me
Fm                              Cm
That's something I, Through the tons of my life
       D#
Never wanted to be ,Never wanted to be

But if you stay just a bolt in the ball
Then you'll never know, then you'll never know
How you could miss like the daylight the way
You're missing us now, you're missing us now

Chorus:
Gm Cm D#                  Cm
       So listen to some reason

There's nothing in your dreams
       D#             Cm                   G#
But if you're getting even, You're getting even
              D#
Trying to get even, Better start believing
          Cm                 G#
I can forgive ,And we can forget
           D#
Even after all this,
Love and other nonsense we've made

Now if we kiss, then the moon in the sky
Will linger awhile, will linger awhile
So as to gift just an inch more of night
But you break from my life, no more kiss, no more I

Chorus:
But listen to some reason,
there's nothing in your dreams
But if you're getting even, you're getting even
Trying to get even, better start believing
I can forgive, and we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive, and we can forget
Even after all this love and other nonsense

         C#     G#          D#                   C#
It's the worst part of the best of me, best of me
G#         D#                   C#
Love and trying so hard to be free
 G#           D#                 C#
Worst of the best of me, best of me
 G#         D#                 Gm G#
Love and trying so hard to be free
            Gm               A#
Lonely but free ,And out of love

If you're getting even, you're getting even
If you're getting even, you're getting even

Chorus:
If you're getting even, you're getting even
Trying to get even, better start believing
I can forgive, and we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive, and we can forget
Even after all this love and other nonsense

You're getting even, you're getting even
And I can forgive, and we can forget
You're getting even, you're getting even
And I can forgive, and we can forget

You're getting even, you're getting even
And I can forgive, and we can forget
You're getting even, you're getting even
And I can forgive, and we can forget
You're getting even
