C#m               A                          G#               A 
In a car on the driveway the conversation's colors paint themselves on canvas 
C#m                A                            G# 
White lies and motivation, we're standing oh so honestly 
          A                       C#m 
I'm surprised it didn't hurt your eyes 
                A             G#                 A            C#m 
I think that "I" is the only word in your vocabulary tonight 
                    A                      G# 
Those same brown eyes stare straight ahead 
                A 
And I shut my hand in your door 
      F#m 
And I looked around for a lifeline 


     E              B/D#          A 
Well I would rather have a broken arm 
                       E/G# 
Than have my arms around you 
     E              B/D#          A 
Well I would rather have a broken arm 
                       E/G# 
Than have my arms around you 


C#m                 A                              G# 
It took a minute or two to gather all my neurotic thoughts 
          A                      C#m 
Before I started to talk way too loud 
                 A               G#                A 
Loudly I thought to myself "God, how do I find myself here again and again" 
C#m           A                     G# 
My same black eyes stare straight ahead as 
          A 
I took my time with a cigarette 
C#m              A                       G#                A              F#m 
Fair enough I'm still in love with the false hope of us stabbed inside my chest 
Let me tell you all about it 


       E              B/D#             A 
'Cause I would rather have a punctured lung 
                       E/G# 
Than waste my breath on you 
     E              B/D#             A 
Well I would rather have a punctured lung 
                       E/G# 
Than waste my breath on you 

Although my dear 
E              B/D#           A 
I would rather have a broken heart 
                    E/G# 
Than give up hope on you 
     E              B/D#           A 
Well I would rather have a broken heart 
                    E/G# 
Than give up hope on you 


We've got all the time that we need
