I (Cmaj9)nev er knew,
I (Gsus)nev er knew that ev ’ry thing was (Cmaj9)fall ing through, that ev ’ry one I (Gsus)knew was wait ing (Cmaj9)on a cue to turn and run, when all I (G)need ed was the truth.
But that’s how it’s got (Cmaj9)ta be;

as I’d rath er run the (G)oth er way than (Cmaj9)stay and see the smoke and who’s still the can (G)stand ing yon when it clears.
And (C)ev ’ry one
(Em)knows I’m in o ver my head, o (Em7)ver my (D)head.
With eight sec onds left in o ver (G)time, she’s on your mind, she’s on
(D)your (Cmaj9)mind.
Let’s (Cmaj9)re ar range.
I (Gsus)wish you were a stran ger; I could (Cmaj9)dis en gage, just say that we a (Gsus)gree and then nev (Cmaj9)er change, cue soft en a bit un til we (G)all just get a long.
But that’s But that’s dis (Cmaj9)re gard.

as you lose the ar gu (G)ment in a ca (Cmaj9)ble car see hang ing a bove as the can (G)stand ing yon comes be tween.
And (C)ev ’ry one
(Em)knows I’m in o ver my head, o (Em7)ver my (D)head.

(D)your (Cmaj9)mind.
Let’s your mind.
(C)Ev ’ry one
(Em)knows I’m in o ver my head, o (Em7)ver my (D)head.
With eight sec onds left in o ver (G)time, she’s on your mind, she’s on,

I’m (Cmaj7)los ing you and it’s (Am7)ef fort less.
With (Cmaj7)out a sound, we lose sight of the ground in the throw (Cmaj9)a round.
Nev er thought that you want ed to bring (C)it down.
I won’t let it go down till we (Am7)torch it our selves.
And (G)ev ’ry one

With eight sec onds left in o ver (D)time, she’s on your mind, she’s on
(D)your (Cmaj9)mind.
Ev ’ry one (Cmaj9)knows
