Lyrics
(A)Go, stop and go.
I just hear stat ic; I used to read you loud and clear, not like this.
It’s so er rat ic, and I’m not ra tion al when I (D)see you a round.
Your (G)in con sis ten cy, you know it’s (D)drag ging me down.
You’re so con flict ed, ba by.
You’re al ways (C)walk ing a way.
(G)(Walk ing a way.)
One step, and (C)ev ’ry thing’s o ver and you’re (D)run ning back to me.
You say I (C)let you down.
Ba by, take me in, or just take me out.
I’m al read y dead; I (G)al read y said
I’m sor ry.
I’ve made mis takes; I’ve been an ad dict, a blind fa nat ic.
Don’t you know, you’re not im mune to the pan ic with some bod y.
When the (D)snow hits your skin,
the (G)cold don’t last for ev er, but you’ll (D)live it a gain if you don’t let sea sons change.
You’re al ways (C)walk ing a way.
(G)(Walk a way.) (You’re al ways walk ing a way.) One step, and (C)ev ’ry thing’s o ver and you’re (D)run ning back to me.
You say I (C)let you down.
Ba by, take me in, or just take me out.
I’m al read y dead; I (G)al read y said
I’m sor ry.
How man y (E)times do I have to say it

(Bb)me?
(Oh, oh, oh.)
(Oh, oh, oh.) (Pan ic.) al read y dead;
I al read y, al read y said...
I’m (F)al read y dead, (Al read y dead, I al read y said al read y said) I’m sor ry.
