Verse 1:

I light the fuse
E                Ab
  and I watch it burn
              A                               E
And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned
             Ab                         Dbm
It's not the crime but the way that we pay for
B          A     Am
Feelings unmutual


         E
You go upstairs
              Ab
and I hang my head
         A                           E
Somebody said I let myself down as I crawled into bed
           Ab                    Dbm
I wondered why the hell I'd ever paid for
B          A     Am
Feelings unmutual

Chorus:
E              Ab            A
  I'm tired of living in the shadows
E             Ab                  A    Am
  these paper walls I can't break through
E             Ab               A
  I'm sick of standing by your window
E         Ab             A   Am
  tracing silhouettes of you

Verse 2:
             E
When it gets dark
              Ab
you light the spark
            A                             E
And all the lies I tried to live by start falling apart
        Ab                       Dbm
Whoever knew that it could be so painful
B          A     Am
Feelings unmutual


              E
Now I can't escape
              Ab
these things I've done
       A                              E
But my anxieties have promised me the worst is to come
           Ab                           Dbm
So give up living for the life that you paid for
B          A     Am
Feelings unmutual

Chorus:
E              Ab            A
  I'm tired of living in the shadows
E             Ab                  A     Am
  These paper walls I can't break through
E             Ab               A
  I'm sick of standing by your window
E         Ab             A   Am
  Tracing silhouettes of you


E         Ab             A
  Tracing silhouettes of you
E         Ab             A   Am
  Tracing silhouettes of you
E         Ab             A
  Tracing silhouettes of you
E         Ab             A   Am
  Tracing silhouettes of you

Outro:
            E
I light the fuse
               Ab
and I watch it burn
              A                               E
And somewhere deep inside I know there's a lesson to be learned
             Ab                         Dbm
It's not the crime but the way that we pay for
B          A     Am
Feelings unmutual
