Lyrics

You (G5)talk a bout life, you, talk a bout death and (Dsus)ev ’ry thing in be tween der when like it’s (Csus2)noth in’,

It and the (Dsus)words are eas y.

You (G5)talk a bout me, and talk a bout you and (Dsus)ev ’ry thing I do do like it’s some thin’

that it (Dsus)needs re peat ing.

If I don’t need an al i bi, or for you to re al ize the things we left un said are (Dsus)on ly tak ing space up in our heads.

Make it my fault, win the game; point the fin ger, place the blame and cuss me up and down.

It (Dsus)does n’t mat ter now.

’Cause I don’t (G5)care if I ev er (Dsus)talk to you a gain.

(G5)This is not a bout e mo tion; I don’t need a rea son not to (G5)care what you say or what (Dsus)hap pened in the end.

(G5)This is my in ter pre ta tion, and it (Csus2)don’t,

don’t make sense.

The (G5)first a two weeks turn in a to ten; I (Dsus)hold ’ry my breath and won der when like it’s (Csus2)hap pen.

It does n’t (Dsus)real ly mat ter.

If (G5)half a of what you said a is true and (Dsus)half of what I did n’t do could be dif f’rent,

would it (Dsus)make it bet ter?

If we for get the things we know, would we have some where to go?

The on ly way is down; (Dsus)on ly tak ing space up in our heads.

Make it my fault, win the game; point the fin ger, place the blame and cuss me up and down.

It (Dsus)I can see that now.

’Cause I don’t (G5)care if I ev er (Dsus)talk to you a gain.

(G5)This is not a bout e mo tion; I don’t need a rea son not to (G5)care what you say or what (Dsus)hap pened in the end.

(G5)This is my in ter pre ta tion, and it (Csus2)don’t,

don’t make sense.

The sense.

(Em7)It’s

real ly not

such (D)a sad

day if I,

if I nev er (Dsus)talk to you a gain.

(G5)This is not a bout e mo tion; I don’t need a rea son not to (G5)care what you say or what (Dsus)hap pened in the end.

(G5)This is my in ter pre ta tion, and it (Csus2)don’t,

don’t make sense.

And it don’t have to make no (Dsus)sense to you at all, ’cause (G5)this is my in ter pre ta tion, yeah,

yeah,

yeah.
