Bm D A Bm F#m G

Learning theres nothing to gain from advice

Bm D A Bm F#m G

Hey doubt, come on around any time

D G A Bm F#m G

Anyhow mistakes are what lead you through life

Bm A G Bm (RIFF See below)

Down and out's only if you think up and in's right

Bm D A Bm F#m G

I've gone along with the sins that are versions of you

Bm D A Bm F#m G

But guidlines were all I had time to get through

D G A Bm F#m G

It's like reading of love that's gone wrong

Bm

If time was laid out like that

D A Bm (RIFF)

Everything would occur at once

A G Bm F#m

And all the laws were laid down twice

A G Bm F#m

And the clouds were doubled in the sky

A G Bm F#m

And being tall meant lacking height

A G Bm F#m G

And being wrong meant being right

Bm

You're perfect

D A Bm F#m G

You fit snuggly right in the lie

Bm D A Bm F#m G

One host is going to teach how to die

D

Lay down

G A Bm F#m G

The darkness tonight is so bright

Bm A G Bm (RIFF)

Reasons There's one for each time cars collide

A G Bm F#m

I hear that telling moments divide

A G Bm F#m

And the only important moments

A G Bm F#m

Are the in between times

A G Bm F#m

And being confused is an exercise

F#m G Bm

I'm missing your thoughts tonight

F#m A G Bm

But we reach out to what's out of our sight

F#m G Bm

I'm missing your thoughts tonight

F#m A G Bm

But we reach out to what's out of our sight

The riff can be played two ways depending what you feel is right: -
