VERSE:
C
Was it all in real time
Or was it just in my mind
(G) Am
Or was I just a ghost passing through you?
(G) C
Clinging to the wreckage
Until I got the message
(G) Am
Hanging at the edge of the room
PRECHORUS:
G
Give me something that's real
F
Give me half of your bitterest pill
Em
Something from under the surface
Dm F
You actually feel
CHORUS:
G Am Dm
We say these words again and again
C F
But they still sound the same
G Am Dm
It was in your eyes, in your eyes
C F
They were just easy lies
VERSE:
C
The lightest words are heavy
And promises are easy
(G) Am
And no one's ever happy or sad for very long
(G) C
But just because I said it
It doesn't mean I meant it
(G) Am
I guess that was the way all along
PRECHORUS:
G
I'm just shaping the sound
F
I'm just turning the syllables round
Em
Dipping my toe in the water
Dm F
And watching you drown
CHORUS:
G Am Dm
We say these words again and again
C F
But they still sound the same
G Am Dm
It was in my eyes, in my eyes
C F
They were just easy lies
BRIDGE:
Am F C Em
And it's been a long time waiting
Am F F Em
And it's been a lifetime in the making
SOLO:
G - Am - Em - C - F
CHORUS:
G Am Dm
I said when you are alone and afraid
C F
I will come to your aid
G Am Dm
Was it just a dream, just a dream
C G
'cos was it real to me
G Am Dm
We say these words again and again
C F
But they still sound the same
G Am Dm
Say these words again and again
C F
And again and again
OUTRO: Am
