Lyrics

Close e nough to start a war.

All that I have

is on the floor.

God on ly knows what we’re fight ing (Abmaj9)for.

All that I say,

you al ways say (Ab)more.

(Ab)I can’t keep up with your (Fm7)turn ing ta bles.

Un der (Ab)your thumb I (Absus2)can’t (Bb)breath.

So (Cm7)I won’t (Abmaj7)let you (Eb)close e nough to hurt me.

No, (Cm7)I won’t (Abmaj7)ask you (Eb)you to just de sert me.

I can’t give you

(Ab)what you (Eb)think you (Gm)gave (Bb)me.

It’s time to (Fm7)say (Eb)good (Ab)bye.

To turn ing ta bles.

To turn ing ta bles.

Un der haunt ed skies I see

Ooh.

Where love is lost your ghost was found.

I braved a hun dred storms to (Abmaj9)leave you

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

(Ab)I can’t keep up with your (Fm7)turn ing ta bles.

Un der (Ab)your thumb I (Absus2)can’t (Bb)breath.

So (Cm7)I won’t (Abmaj7)let you (Eb)close e nough to hurt me.

No, (Cm7)I won’t (Abmaj7)ask you (Eb)you to just de sert me.

I can’t give you

(Ab)what you (Eb)think you (Gm)gave (Bb)me.

It’s time to (Fm7)say (Eb)good (Ab)bye.

To turn ing ta bles.

To turn ing ta bles.

(Cm7)Next time I’ll be brav er, (Abmaj7)I’ll be my own sav iour (Eb)when
