Lyrics

Close e nough to start a (Bb)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,

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 (Gm7)hurt me.

No, (Dm7)I won’t (Bbmaj7)res cue (F)you to just de (Gm7)sert me.

I can’t (Dm7)give you

what you (F)think you (Csus)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 (Bb)found.

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

as hard as you (Gm7)try, no, I will nev er be knocked (Bbmaj7)down.
