C7M        F7M    C7M 
   Days go by so rapidly 
               F7M 
Oh, won't you comfort me 
  Dm7           E7 
I know what we had 
               C7M 
It was make believe, oh 
      A7 
A placebo 
   C7M          F7M             C7M 
I can’t take a loss like that again 
             F7M             Dm7 
I'd rather float off in the wind 
                  E7                    C7M 
But maybe this is how it's supposed to be 
               A7          C7M 
I guess we’ll see on the other side 
            F7M 
Where the grass seems to be greener 
         C7M 
On the other side 
          F7M 
Where my ribcage could be cleaner 
        Dm7 
On the other side 
           E7 
Where the light will not go out 
            C7M 
Oh, on the other side 
    A7 
Th? other side

C7M        F7M 
   Take my tim? 
             C7M            F7M 
Please stop rushing me for company 
  Dm7              E7 
I can't figure it out 
            C7M                  A7 
I need you here, but you're not near 
C7M      F7M 
I can't, I can't 
C7M      F7M 
I can't, I can't 
   Dm7              E7             C7M 
Remember what was a dream or a memory 
            A7 
Love isn't real 
    C7M  F7M    C7M  F7M 
Not to me,  not to me

Oh, oh, oh oh 
               C7M 
It was make believe, oh

A placebo
