Intro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A

Verse 1:

[Am] The air that you [G]breathe it must be [D]poison
[Bm] And you're dressed up in [A]your best dis[G]guise

Bridge 1:

I [Dsus2/F#]don't want to hear what y[G]ou have to say
It's [Dsus2/F#]there in your eyes when y[G]ou look away
These [Dsus2/F#]beautiful words are tu[G]rning [E/Ab]into l[A]ies

Chorus 1:

[Em]How can you [A]say that to [D]me

Verse 2:

[Am] The light that still [G]shines is just an il[D]lusion
[Bm] Just a memory [A]from a burned out [G]star

Bridge 2:

Its [Dsus2/F#]promise has come from [G]so far away
It's [Dsus2/F#]fighting through sadness and y[G]ears of decay
[Dsus2/F#]Oh and it's a wonder it e[G]ver m[E/Ab]ade it this [A]far

Chorus 2:

Well now [Em]how can you [Dsus2/F#]say that to [G]me[A]
After [Em]all of those [Dsus2/F#]secrets you [G]let me be[A]lieve
There's no [Am]rose petal [G]air, there's just [Gm]thorns when I [Dsus2/F#]breathe
Well now [Em]how can you [G]say that

Bridge 3:

[Bm] It's not this [F#m]silence that screams in my mi[G]nd
Each day I [Em]feel like I'm [A]falling be[Bm]hind
Living in [F#m]shadows, still getting bu[G]rned
When will I [Gm]ever learn

Chorus 3:

Well now [Em]how can you [Dsus2/F#]say that to [G]me[A]
After [Em]all of those [Dsus2/F#]secrets you [G]let me be[A]lieve
There's no [Am]rose petal [G]air, there's just [Gm]thorns when I [Dsus2/F#]breathe
Well now [Em]how can you [G]say that to [D]me

Outro: Dsus2/B - Dsus2/F# - G - A (repeat & fade)
