Intro

(Riff 1)
    
(Riff 1)
    

Verse

it's nothing, it's so normal
(Riff 2)
you just stand there, I could say so much
(Riff 2)
but I don't go there cuz I don't want to    
I was thinkin' if, you were lonely
(Riff 2)
maybe we could leave here and no one would know
(Riff 2)
at least not to the point that we would think so   

Chorus

everyone here knows everyone here is thinkin' 'bout somebody else
well it's best if we all keep this under our heads   
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
(Riff 4a)
but I'm lonely now, and I don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good      

Verse

(Riff 1)
this don't mean that, you own me well,
(Riff 1) (Riff 2)
this ain't no good, in fact it's phony as hell
(Riff 2) (Riff 1)
but things worked out just like you wanted to  
(Riff 1)
if you see me out you don't know me
(Riff 1) (Riff 2)
try to turn your head, try to give me some room
(Riff 2) (Riff 1)
to figure out just what I'm gonna do   

Chorus

cuz everyone here hates everyone here for doin' just like they do
and it's best if all keep this quiet instead   
I couldn't tell, why everyone here was doin' me like they do
(Riff 4a)
but I'm sorry now, and I don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good      

Chorus

everyone here is wondering what it's like to be with somebody else
and everyone here's to blame, everyone here
gets caught up in the pleasure of the pain
yeah, well everyone here hides shades of shame
yeah, but lookin' inside we're the same, we're the same
and we're all grown now, but we don't know how
(Riff 1) (Riff 1)
to get it back to good    

Chorus

everyone here knows everyone here is thinkin' 'bout somebody else
well it's best if we all keep this under our heads, hell our heads yeah 
I couldn't tell, if anyone here was feeling the way I do
(Riff 4a) (Riff 4b)
but it's over now, and I don't know how
(Riff 3)
yes, it's over now, there's no getting back to good

Outro

(Riff 3) x3
D C x6
