Lyrics

Lov ing you, I thought I could n’t (Fm)get no high er.

Your No vem ber rain could set the (Ab)night on fire,

night on (Eb)fire.

But we could on ly burn so (Db)long:

coun ter feit e mo tions on ly (Fm)run skin deep; know you’re ly ing when you’re ly ing (Ab)next to me,

next to (Eb)me.

How did we get so far (Db)gone?

I should know by now.

You should know by now.

We should know by now.

Some thing’s got ta give.

Some thing’s got ta break.

But all I do is give,

and all you do is take.

Some thing’s got ta change,

but I know that it won’t.

No rea son to (Ab)stay, -ay, -ay, -ay, -ay, -ay, (Eb)-ay.

It’s a good rea son to (Db)go.

It’s a good rea son to (Ab)go,

oh, oh.

Mm.

I have nev er heard a si lence (Fm)quite so loud: er.

I walk in the room and you don’t (Ab)make a sound,

make a (Eb)sound.

You’re good at mak ing me feel (Db)small.

If it does n’t hurt me, why do (Fm)I still cry?

If it did n’t kill me, then I’m (Ab)half a live,

half a (Eb)live.

How did we get so far (Db)gone?

I should know by now.

You should know by now.

We should know by now.

Some thing’s got ta give.

Some thing’s got ta break.

But all I do is give,

and all you do is take.

Some thing’s got ta change,

but I know that it won’t.

No rea son to (Ab)stay, -ay, -ay, -ay, -ay, -ay, (Eb)-ay.

It’s a good rea son to (Db)go.

It’s a good rea son to (Ab)go,

oh, oh.

Mm.

I should know by now.

You should know by now.

I think I’m break ing right now.

Oh.

I should know by now.

You should know by now.

I think I’m break ing right now.

Oh.

Some thing’s got ta give.

Some thing’s got ta break.

All I do is give,

and all you do is take.

Some thing’s got ta change.

No, I know that it won’t.

No rea son to (Ab)stay, -ay, -ay.

It’s a good rea son to go.

It’s a good rea son to (Ab)go.

Some thing’s got ta give.
