Lagwagon - Violins 
   
Intro: C G E F 
 
C          G             E             F             C       
 I am just another fool and I have to keep telling myself that   
            G           E              F           
I am just a hypocrite and I have to keep calling you one   
C          G                  
 And I forgot to bite my tongue  
         E               F               C 
As my assumption is the mother of all mistakes  
      G               A                 F     G      C 
So I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape 
 
C          Bb               F                   
 So why you  wanna be there, when you can be here?  
G                  C   
 You are slipping away   
 
C              G                         E   
 I awake with your replacement, a bottle in my grasp, 
       F          C 
In an unfamiliar place   
                     G                            E   
'Cause you put me out, the butt of your sick joke,  
                       F                   C 
Into this ashtray life, as you come and go   
             G                      E   
'Cause I forgot to service you, and we broke down,  
               F               C 
And you can't live with my mistakes   
        G                  A             
But I assume false grace, open my arms,  
      F       G         C 
And grasp at something true.   
   
C             Bb                    F 
 How are you?   How have you been?  
                G               C   
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again   
          Bb               F                   
So why you  wanna be there, when you can be here?  
G                  F   
 You are slipping away

C                G            E                F             
 I bring out the worst in you, and you try to let me know   
C                   G              E        F 
 You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety   
C          G            E 
 I'm trying to let you go,  
             F               C 
You say I'm giving you the creeps.   
      G                 A             
So I assume the role, open my claws,  
      F        G         
And grasp for your heart   
 
C             Bb                    F 
 How are you?   How have you been?  
                G               C   
Girl I miss you, wanna see you again   
         Bb                     F 
Into you,  like a mortal stake,  
              G                       F   
So vindictive, your love's slipping away
