Lyrics

Close e nough to start a war,

all that I have

is on the (Bb)floor.

God on ly knows what we’re fight ing (Bb)for,

all that I say,

you al ways say (Bb)more.

I can’t keep up with your (Gm7)turn ing ta bles; un der (Bb)your thumb, I can’t (C)breathe.

So (Dm7)I won’t (Bb)let you (F)close e nough to hurt me.

No (Dm7)I won’t (Bmaj7)res cue (F)you to just de sert me.

I can’t (Dm7)give you

(Bb)what you (F)think you (F)gave (C)me.

It’s time to (Gm)say (F)good (Bb)bye

to turn ing ta bles,

to turn ing ta bles.

Un der haunt ed skies I (Bb)see,

oo,

where love is lost, your ghost is found.

I braved a hun dred storms to (Bb)leave you,

as hard as you try, no, I will nev er be knocked (Bbmaj7)down.

turn ing ta bles.

(Dm)Next time, I’ll be brav er, (Bbmaj7)I’ll be my own sav ior (F)when

the thun der calls for me.

(Dm)Next time, I’ll be brav er, (Bbmaj7)I’ll be my own sav ior, (F)stand ing

on my own two (C)feet.

(Dm7)I won’t (Bb)let you (F)close e nough to hurt me.

No, (Dm7)I won’t (Bmaj7)res cue (F)you to just de sert me.

I can’t (Dm7)give you

(Bb)what you (F)think you (F)gave (C)me.

It’s time to (Gm)say (F)good (Bb)bye

to turn ing ta bles,

to turn ing ta bles,

turn ing (Dm)ta bles,

yeah, yeah.

Turn ing, oh.
