Verse 1: 
C#m 
Let me introduce myself 
   G#m 
my name is no concern 
    G# 
The room is filled  
                 C#m   B 
with superficial voices 
A 
As the smoke clears I can 
        B 
see one hundred little lies 
G# 
Racing to the finish for 
  A           B 
a consolation prize 
 
Chorus 1: 
             E 
I want to be wrong 
              G#m 
I wish that I was  
          C#m 
uncertain just 
     B/Eb  A 
like yesterday 
     E 
This is not who I am 
     G#m 
been planning my escape 
   A 
So long now that my 
B                C#m G#-F#m-A-G#m <--Bass Solo 
map looks like a maze 
 
Verse 2: 
C#m 
Always on the dark side 
     G#m 
of a pessimistic moon 
   G# 
Or burning in the sun 
                C#m   B 
of what they're saying 
A 
If you have the foresight 
        B 
can you read between the 
       G# 
lines? Finger two and four 
         A               B 
inviting fingers one and five 
 
Chorus 2: 
              E 
To be in this song 
               G#m 
it's nothing I can shut off 
      C#m   B/Eb    A 
But I think it's my place 
   E 
To let you know I know that 
G#m 
all your plans are fake 
    A 
And what you give me 
B             C#m-- x8 
I could never take 
 
Bridge: 
E            B 
  Are you confusing me with 
C#m 
someone else you hardly even 
G#        A 
know? I'm sitting here observing  
         B 
and more often I am learning 
         G#/C 
That you are an artist and  
             C#m            A Am 
this is your show so sing it 
 
Chorus 3: 
             E 
I want to be wrong but  
           G#m 
what did i really think 
     C#m        B/Eb   A 
That this could become real? 
    E 
Now writing in cliches 
   G#m 
to learn from my mistakes 
    A 
But how much of you 
B            C#m-- x4 
could anyone take?
