Intro: Dm Bb Dm F Bb A

Verse 1:
Dm
  Trying to create something
           Bb
that's not there
                   Dm
A spark I saw as a bomb is
F                     Bb A
   just a means to an end
    Dm
And I was just so happy
                Bb
to be out of my shell again
                   Dm
don't think that I really
      F
cared for who or what
       Bb
So for now I'll just
        A
have to keep it shut

Chorus:
   Dm
If you're not ready
Bb
you're not ready
Dm          F
Please stop acting
         A
like you are

Chorus:
Dm            Bb
  How could I know
          Gm
that everything you say

are lies about
  A
devotion and desire?
Dm                Bb
  And I know the spark
            Gm
inside your eyes

was just the match I
        A
used to set myself on fire

Post-chorus: Dm

Verse 2:
Dm
  My mouth's shooting blanks
    Bb
Situation's unbearable

I've gotten vulnerable
    Dm                      F
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
   Bb
My temple's been invaded
            A
and there's nobody guarding it
Dm              Bb
  All over this lonely life
    Dm
but what's so wrong
               F
with being all alone?
 Bb
Alone is the only way
     A
I've ever known

Chorus:
   Dm
If you're not ready
Bb
you're not ready
Dm          F
Please stop acting
         A
like you are

Chorus:
Dm            Bb
  How could I know
          Gm
that everything you say

are lies about
  A
devotion and desire?
Dm                Bb
  And I know the spark
            Gm
inside your eyes

was just the match I
        A
used to set myself on fire

Post-chorus: Dm

Solo: 
   Dm Bb Dm F A (x2)
   Dm A Bb A

Bridge:
Dm            A
  Now pleading    this kills
  Bb
it  still bleeding
A             Dm
    My darling  I'm taking
A               Bb
    my life back  to
             A
start healing

Chorus:
Dm            Bb
  How could I know
          Gm
that everything you say

are lies about
  A
devotion and desire?
Dm                Bb
  And I know the spark
            Gm
inside your eyes

was just the match I
        A
used to set myself on fire

Outro:
Dm Dm Dm                   Dm
        Set my self on fire
