Verse:
E G#m Gm (played very quickly, sliding down)
Embarassed possessed and so uncivilized
F#m7add13 Asus2
Just take a look at the whites of my eyes
E G#m Gm
See me now and I will apologize
F#m7add13 Asus2
For me for you we knew they were lies

Chorus:
E F#m Am (with intro riff throughout)
It was no surface but all feeling
E F#m Am
Maybe at the time it felt like dreaming
Verse 2:
E G#m Gm
Maybe richer, maybe wiser
F#m7add13 Asus2
It seemed so easy to not go too far
E G#m Gm
Beg me to stop hate my face I know
F#m7add13 Asus2
Tell me forever just to go

Maybe at the time it felt like dreaming
