verse 1 
Bb 
Those songs we used to sing 
Gm         Cm 
We haven't sung them in so long 
Bb                         Gm 
I'll sing one with you now 
    C                                F 
But first tell me how much I get for biting my tongue 
  C                      F 
I kept my mouth shut but still I got stung, so 


[Refrão]

Bb  Gm 
All gone 
Cm           F 
How do you do it? 
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm     F 
For so long  


verse 2 
Gm        Cm                     D 
Making it up just to make it now 
D 
Yeah, I got it down 
Gm         Cm                       F 
Propped it up, but right away it fell 
F 
It ain't too hard to tell that 


[Refrão]

Bb       Gm 
It's all gone 
Cm           F 
How do you do it? 
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm     F 
For so long 
Bb         Gm 
You're all wrong 
Cm                     F 
And that's when I knew it 
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm             F 
And it was all gone 


verse 3 
Bb 
You, sense destroyer 
Eb            Cm 
A spiritualist 
Bb 
Me, a sense enjoyer 
Bb          Cm 
Materialist 
C 
But you're never going to tell me what I can say 
       F 
You're never going to take my wings away 


[Refrão]
 
Bb           Gm 
Now it's all gone  
Cm            F 
How do you do it?  
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm     F 
For so long  


verse 4 
Gm          Cm                 D 
I played along with the lunacy 
D 
I played along 
Gm          Cm                       F 
I played along like it was new to me 
F 
Just to get along 


[Refrão]

Bb                Gm 
But now it's all gone  
Cm             F 
How do you do it?  
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm       F 
For so long  
Bb         Gm 
You're all wrong  
Cm                      F 
And that's when I knew it 
Bb           Gm 
You put your back into it 
Cm             F 
And it was all gone
