C
I never knew perfection till
  C  
I heard you speak, and now it kills me
F
Just to hear you say the simple things
    C
Now waking up is hard to do
     C  
And sleeping is impossible too
F                             Bb
Everything is reminding me of you
Bb
What can I do?

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

   C 
a fool to let you slip away
   C  
I chase you just to hear you say
       F
You’re scared and that you think that I’m insane

     C
The city look so nice from here
C  
Pity I can’t see it clearly
F                                    Bb
While you’re standing there, it disappears
It disappears

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…

F                     G
Saw you sitting all alone
         F                 G  
You’re fragile and you’re cold, but that’s all right
F
Life these days is getting rough
         G
They’ve knocked you down and beat you up
          Am                   G
But it’s just a rollercoaster anyway, yeah

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?

C               C  
It’s not right, not OK
Am      Am7            D7 
Say the words that you say
            F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
C            C        
I’m not fine, I’m in pain
Am          Am7     D7
It’s harder everyday
             F
Maybe we’re better off this way?
It’s better that we break…baby

THIS AIN’T A SCENE
IT’S A

Instead of the dreaded ‘E’ chord, I used e 7 so there wouldn’t be an awkward pause between Am and the other…….It works for me, it sounds basically the same but just easier to transition

OH MY G- I LOVE THIS SONG *headbangs into wall*

Heythatsprettygood

No! Why would you do that ‘truelivesofthefaboulousphangirls’?!? It doesn’t sound right.

Kat In The Hat

The way I like to sing it works well with either -5 or even +5

mcasper96

I did the same thing before reading the comments and maybe they did it because E is absolutely impossible to play?!?! It does sound better in my opinion, but you do you ‘Heythatsprettygood’.

Danielle

E7 works best for this song

Anyone know the strumming pattern?

Oli

I’m afraid you got some if the lyrics wrong, instead of “god damn arms race” its “gah dah ah rah” *haha kill me*
