[Riff 1]

G                   D
  My opinion could change today
Bm                  C
  I'm responsible anyway
G                       D
 for second to third-hand information
Bm                            C
  that complicates the complication

(strum C for another line or so)

G                 D
I don't think before I speak
       Bm                C
and I don't know how far my words reach
G                  D
  So wrong nearly every time
         Bm               C
that I'm sorry I speak my mind

Bm                C
If what I said is unkind

            D                Bm
And now it feels like I'm on fire
       C                    D
These words are not the truth
                   Bm
Don't hold it against me
         C              D
cause I know you're lying too

D Bm C D

        G             D
Is there any need for apologies
Bm                         C
  There's no reason to believe
G                      D
Judgments born of my jealous mind
Bm           C
  Creeping inside outside
G                       D
Connections I've made never follow through
Bm                        C
and sooner or later disappoint you
G                          D
Cross you twice when your back is turned
Bm               C
  That's how I'll love you

Bm                      C
And someone has got to be hurt

   D                        Bm
Now it feels like I'm on fire
C                D
It's burning the world through
             Bm
Don't let me fall
        C                  D
without someone to hold onto
C                  D
Someone to hold onto
C                  D
Someone to hold onto
