This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Dsus2 D C G F E

Adds up a shame to leave it all so unresolved

D C G F E

Shakes all the sheathing loose from the wire

D C G F C D D7

Time's going to be a luxury now in the responsibility empire

D C G F E

Give me some false hope I can take seriously

D C G F E

Set me some roadblocks I can't break through

D C G F

And watch what I'll risk to get what I want

C D

I think too much, I always do

CHORUS: (play tab from above)

A7 C F F/E D

No changing your side, no thinking it's time to start things over

A7 C F F/E D

No favors denied, no not on the last day that we're young

Hang up the faces, Lon Chaney your day's done

Each one is one less chance you can win

No one can get behind what they all say

And so you lose before you begin

D C# C B E A G D C# C

What was it we were always wanting?

B A F# F# E D#

Didn't we know we had it all?

Show me some some tear-eyed beauty that disappears

Every time I might happen along

Opalesque, eye-lined, owing the day

When it comes I'll have been proven wrong

CHORUS

What was it we were always wanting?

Didn't we know we had it all?
