Verse 1:

Lately Iʼve been sleeping alone on my own again
[E/G#]Just me in an empty room on a single bed
Iʼve been trying all this time just to see
[E/G#]All the reasons you had given just to leave

Chorus:

Why am I so bitter about you babe
I donʼt understand
[E/G#]Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check
But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness
[E/G#]When all you were was [E/G#]just a little 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:
Why am I so bitter about you babe
I donʼt understand
[E/G#]Was I trying to cash in the fantasy without the reality check
But I never wanted you to lie to yourself about happiness
[E/G#]When all you were was j[G/Em]ust a little lonely
And all you wa[F/E]nted was the company

Bridge:
Whyʼd you let me go
When you still wanna know
[E/B]How [D/A]much[E/G#] I care
If [A/C#]IF[B/D#]0;d still be there
Whyʼd you set me free
If you need the sympathy
[E/B]Come[D/A] as [E/G#]you are
My [A/C#]tongu[B/D#]e is undone
Was I spoilt for love
Have you had enough
Wait out the danger
You donʼt have to ask
This maudlin moment
Will soon come to pass
