INTRO:  G - Am - Dm - C - F   x2 
 
VERSE: 
C 
Was it all in real time 
Or was it just in my mind 
(G) Am 
Or was I just a ghost passing through you? 
(G) C 
Clinging to the wreckage 
Until I got the message 
(G) Am 
Hanging at the edge of the room 
 
PRECHORUS: 
         G 
Give me something that's real 
        F 
Give me half of your bitterest pill 
Em 
Something from under the surface 
      Dm     F 
You actually feel 
 
CHORUS: 
   G                 Am       Dm 
We say these words again and again 
     C                   F 
But they still sound the same 
G              Am            Dm 
It was in your eyes, in your eyes 
      C             F 
They were just easy lies 
 
VERSE: 
C 
The lightest words are heavy 
And promises are easy 
(G) Am 
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long 
(G) C 
But just because I said it 
It doesn't mean I meant it 
(G) Am 
I guess that was the way all along 
 
PRECHORUS: 
         G 
I'm just shaping the sound 
         F 
I'm just turning the syllables round 
Em 
Dipping my toe in the water 
    Dm            F 
And watching you drown 
 
CHORUS: 
   G                 Am       Dm 
We say these words again and again 
     C                   F 
But they still sound the same 
G              Am          Dm 
It was in my eyes, in my eyes 
              C      F 
They were just easy lies 
 
BRIDGE: 
                Am    F   C  Em 
And it's been a long time waiting 
                Am    F         F  Em 
And it's been a lifetime in the making 
 
SOLO: 
G - Am - Em - C - F 
 
CHORUS: 
G                     Am        Dm 
I said when you are alone and afraid 
  C                  F 
I will come to your aid 
G              Am            Dm 
Was it just a dream, just a dream 
         C          G 
'cos was it real to me 
 
   G                 Am       Dm 
We say these words again and again 
     C                   F 
But they still sound the same 
G                Am         Dm 
Say these words again and again 
     C         F 
And again and again 
 
OUTRO: Am
