Lyrics

(A)Watch you when you say what you (G)are and when you blame ev ’ry (D)one,

you (G)bro ken (D)king.

(A)Watch you change the frame, I’ll watch you (G)when you take your aim at the (D)sum

of (G)ev ’ry (D)thing.

But (G)you

and your (A)heart

should n’t (D)feel so far a part.

You (F#)can’t (G)choose

what you (A)take.

Why you got ta (D)break and make it feel so hard?

(A)Lay there in the street like bro ken (G)glass re flect ing piec es of the (D)sun;

you’re not the flame.

You cut the (A)peo ple pass ing by be cause you (G)know what you don’t like.

It’s just so eas y.

It’s just so eas y.

But

Oh, (F#)and (G)you

and your (A)heart

should n’t (D)feel so far a part.

You (F#)can’t (G)choose

what you (A)take.

Why you got ta (D)break and make it feel so hard?

You draw so (CN.C.)man y lines in the sand, lost the fin ger nails on your hands.

How you gon na scratch an y backs?

Bet ter hope the tide will take our lines a (E)way.

Take all our lines and… (CN.C.)Hope the tide will take our lines a-… Hope the tide will take our lines a (E)way.

Take all our lines a way.
