G 
Follow me down to fake streets so far. 
We were way too young but now they're stars. 
Em                                   D 
Cause someone's talking of blood. 
G 
Standing so cold in photography, their faces knew, 
And clearly showed every word that nothing comes true. 
Em                                   D G A 
I'm here stuck in this town no more. 
                   
I hoped you would say  
Bm 
scratch the paper and pass a moment  
          G 
making us both around your shoulders 
                      A 
Let's go for the walls, never mind who was there, 
Just think: the night is guilty in my view of the past. 
G 
So now it's obvious I've learned, let's see your bet.            
Her favorite place to sit, to forget. 
Em                                    D 
Cause no one watched or would care. 
G 
They smile just to be safe, 
Making sure nobody saw two dancing girls with their grins painted on. 
Em 
Cause new year's night to yourself, oh now it's seventy three. 
D                                  
            But you didn't see it, did you? 
G           A 
               I read your note. You're a poet. 
(my coattails sing) 
Bm 
Minutes call for longer, 
G 
Finger prints show loss of blood, 
A 
But being perfect was always hard, 
Wasn't it, wasn't it, to you? 
Bm 
The motivation is hard to find 
G 
The screams were heard but never cried, 
A 
So tell me how do you go through, 
Tell me what brings you to this place. 
Bm 
They will not be afraid, 
G 
Only two know how sad this gets. 
A 
The stage is set for them both, 
And on the bathroom floor, glass ready, there's no turning back now. 

Bm G A 

Bm            
So when the crowds take the credit all away from you. 
G 
You broke fate, so wait. I can't stay. I'm gone. 
A 
Being perfect was always hard, wasn't it? 
Wasn't it? Wasn't it, to you? 
Bm 
So pack your bags, I think we're better off on our own. 
G 
Only for this. I guess I don't mind. 
A 
Stay safe and you'll be fine. 
Now and there. It's time to go, let's run. 

Bm G A 

That's enough. 
Bm          G 
                Because I bet you wished. 
Bm          G 
                Because I bet you wished. 
Bm            G 
   (Run away. Kill me tonight)  
Because I bet you wished. 
Bm             G 
   (Run away. Kill me tonight)  
   Because I bet you wished. 
Bm             G 
   (Run away. Kill me tonight) 
Bm 
For the better days to come back over you. 
G 
Now we're dead. I bet you wished. 
(Run away. Kill me tonight) 
Bm 
For the better days to come back over you. 
G                                                Bm 
Now we're dead, I bet that you can say you wished.

Wasn't it, to you? 
Bm             G 
               The screams were heard but never cried, 
A 
so tell me how do you go...     Bm 
tell me what brings us to this place. 
G 
only two know how sad this gets 
A

                                             Bm
