Intro: Ab Cm Fm Eb Verse 1: Ab Cm I could've sworn I saw fireworks Fm Eb From your house last night Ab Cm As the lights flickered and they failed Fm Eb I had it all figured out Chorus: Ab Cm Why do I do this to myself? Fm Eb Every time I know the way it ends Ab Cm Before it's even begun Fm Eb Ab I am the only one at the finish line Verse 2: Ab Cm I took a trip out to the frozen lake Fm Eb And you felt so far away Ab Cm But I could feel it washing over me Fm Eb There's no escaping the harsh light of day Chorus: Ab Cm Why do I do this to myself? Fm Eb Every time I know the way it ends Ab Cm Before it's even begun Fm Eb Ab I am the only one at the finish line Ab Cm Fm Eb Ab Ooh.. Bridge: Cm Db Stood out on that beach in Chicago Fm Db Woke up next to you on Silver Lake Avenue Cm Db Wherever I went I always knew, always knew Eb 'Til I didn't know Chorus: Ab Cm Why do I do this to myself? Fm Eb Every time I know the way it ends Ab Cm Before it's even begun Fm Eb Ab I am the only one at the finish line Ab Cm Fm Eb OOh...
