Verse 1:
F#m(hold)
Why are we still
so surprised
Every time we
buy the lie?
whoa
F#m(hold)
why don’t
we pursue the
truth Even when
it’s hard to
do? whoa
F#m(hold) A
And all we want
is to believe
And it’s Okay if
we’re slightly
deceived But
maybe we’re
missing the
point that
We’re listening
to liars and thieves

Chorus 1:
whoa You’re
bent but you
just won’t
break whoa
Some things
will never change

Verse 2:
F#m(hold)
Why are we so
slow to say
They’ve figured
out another way?
whoa
F#m(hold)
Why are we
so quick to judge
Anyone who’s not
like us? whoa
F#m(hold) A
And all we want
is to believe
And it’s Okay if
we’re slightly
deceived But
maybe we’re
missing the
point that
We’re listening
to liars and thieves

Chorus 2:
whoa You’re
bent but you
just won’t
break whoa
Some things
will never change

Bridge:
You said you would
never be in lock
step Walking with
the rest of them
I barely recognize
if there is anything
left of you And I
want something more

Chorus 3:

bent but you
just won’t

Verse 1:
Remember when we
used to have it made?
It never seemed like
we were on the take
But we were double
crossed Along the way
It’s hard to see it
any other way

Chorus 1:
You’re tilted and
you’re not quite true[G/B]
I should’ve done away
with you Telling
me the things you knew
I [G/B]wanted But you were
leaving out the best
part and [C/E]Saving
it for last
Saving it for last

Verse 2:
Remember when we
used to have it
made? It never
seemed like we
were on the take
But we were double
crossed Along the
way It’s hard
to seem it any
other way

Chorus 2:
Jilted and when
I came to[G/B]
I knew I couldn’t
count on you
Telling me the
things I thought I
[G/B]wanted Were just
beyond my reach
but not my grasp
And [C/E]I put out my hand
And I put out my hand

Verse 1:
This uphill battle
I’ve been fighting
my whole life Somehow
this melody cuts deeper
than their knives These
three chords can win
this [B/Eb]war And it’s not
even a fair fight
Forget about yourself
E(hold)
for just a while

Chorus 1:
I didn’t really feel
like singing this song
I’ve finally made it
back where you were
all along It almost
ended tragically
It almost all went
G#m F#(hold)
wrong I didn’t
really feel like
E(hold) B
singing this song

Psot Chorus:

Verse 2:
If I was afraid to
fail I wouldn’t even
try I won’t be written
off I won’t let them
decide For what it’s
worth This doesn’t
[B/Eb]work unless you’re
hanging on these
lines Forget about
yourself for
E(hold)
just a while

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
Do you ever feel
Like we were meant
for something
better still?
Well maybe not
Forget about yourself
E(hold)
for just a while

Chorus 2:
I didn’t really feel
like singing this song
I’ve finally made it
back where you were
all along It almost
ended tragically
It almost all went
G#m F#(hold)
wrong I didn’t
really feel like
E(hold) B
singing this song
G#m(hold)
I didn’t really
feel like

Verse 1:
And so it goes
Pretend like
nobody knows
I keep it close
Hold on for dear
life So here we
are we struggle
to get this far
The truth in the
mark well I never lie

Refrain:
I take a breath and
act this it doesn’t
hurt like before
Be with me so
long and something I
D(hold)
couldn’t ignore
A E(hold)
Can’t forget what
it’s here for

Chorus 1:
You come and what
you’ve want it
doesn’t change a
thing We’re all
made of flesh and
bones just the same
Go on point the
finger on time
and place your bet
And made out of flesh
and bones just the same

Verse 2:
And so it goes
A handbag not
even close
I ‘m using my
voice But
I never lie

(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge:
So what’s up
the same
with so many
question erased
If nothing can
change and what
am I fighting
for I did my
best I never

get anything
less And I’ll
never rest It’s
something you
can’t ignore

(Repeat Refrain)

Chorus 2:
You come and what
you’ve want it
doesn’t change a
thing We’re all
made of flesh and
bones just the same
Go on point the
finger on time
and place your bet
And made out of flesh
and bones just the same
And made out of flesh
A A A(hold)
and bones just the same
