Intro: E F#m E/G# F#
Verse 1:
[E]Lately Iʼve been sleeping alone on my[F#m7] own again
[E/G#]Just me in an empty room on a single [F#]bed
[E]Iʼve been trying all this time ju[F#m7]st to see
[E/G#]All the reasons you had given just to l[F#]eave
Chorus:
[E]Why am I so bitter about you babe
[F#m7]I donʼt understand
[E/G#]Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the [F#]reality check
[E]But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about [F#m7]happiness
[E/G#]When all you [A]were was [E/G#]just a little [B]lonely
Verse 2:
Latching on to love like a moth to flame
But what are we gonna do when the embers start to fade
I donʼt mean to mess with the master plan
But when you put out the fire Iʼll just start it again
I guess Iʼll have to keep my distance for your defense
Verse 3:
Pull me out of focus keep me in the queue
Iʼm a tired lover wilting hours in the waiting room
Embrace the silence when thereʼs nothing left
You got no room for demons when youʼre self-possessed
Chorus:
[E]Why am I so bitter about you babe
[F#m]I donʼt understand
[E/G#]Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the [F#]reality check
[E]But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about [F#m]happiness
[E/G#]When all you w[A]ere was j[G/Em]ust a little l[F#7]onely
And all you wa[F/E]nted was the compa[B]ny
Bridge:
[B7]Whyʼd you let me go
[B7]When you still wanna know
[E/B]How [D/A]much[E/G#] I ca[A7]re
If [A/C#]IF[B/D#]0;d s[E]til[A7]l be there
[B7]Whyʼd you set me free
[B7]If you need the sympathy
[E/B]Come[D/A] as [E/G#]you a[A7]re
My [A/C#]tongu[B/D#]e is [E]und[A7]one
[G#m]Was I spoilt for love
[A7]Have you had enough
[G#m]Wait out the danger
[A7]You donʼt have to ask
[G#]This maudlin moment
[A7]Will soon come to pass
