Em         F        Em          F             Em
Everything you ever told me could have been a lie
   F         Em       F      Em F Em x4
We may never have been in love
Em             F             Em                F        Em
Stuck on thinking that there is always something to lose
    F    Em    F    Em F x4
Or a hit from above
    F    Em    F   C
Or a hit from above
 
    Em    F  Em     F     Em
I don't need what I'm holding
F        Em      F  Em F x4
What I'm holding on
Em F x8
I wish I didn't know
 
PRE CHORUS

But meanwhile...
 
CHORUS
Am     Em  F  C   G         F
Fluctuations are aching my soul
Am     Em  F C  G          F
Expectation is taking its toll
Am     Em  F C  G          F
Expectation is taking its toll
       Am          Em       F       C                 Em
'Cause everything you ever told me could have been a lie

We may never have been in love
 
Em/B C x4

VERSE 2
    Gm          C/G  Gm C/G
And then I would escape...
Gm         C/G    Gm    C/G          Gm       C/G   Gm C/G
I'll never, ever have to see another disappointed face
Gm      C/G Gm C/G
No one to please...
Gm           C/G x2 Gm   C/G   Gm
Every now and then, it feels like
Gm                  Am  Gm      C             Gm C/G x8
In all of the universe, there is nobody for me
Em F x8
I told myself I wouldn't care, no I wouldn't care
Em F x8
But when she said she'd come 'round
 
I combed my hair, yes I checked my hair
 
Em/B C x4
