(C#m)Wait ing

on a (G#)Sun day af ter noon

for (B)what I read be tween the lines,

your lies.

(C#m)Feel ing

like a (G#)hand in rust ed shame,

so (B)do you laugh or does it cry?

Re ply?

(C#m)Leav ing

on a (E)south ern train, on ly (A)yes ter day

you (G#7sus)lied.

(A)Prom is es of what I (E)seemed to be, on ly (A)watched the time

go (G#7sus)by.

(A)All of these

things you (E)said to me.

(C#m)Breath ing

is the (G#)hard est thing to do,

with (B)all I’ve said and all that’s dead for you.

You lied,

good bye,
