Riff 1

My opinion could change today
I'm responsible anyway
for second to third-hand information
that complicates the complication
(strum C for another line or so)
I don't think before I speak
and I don't know how far my words reach
So wrong nearly every time
that I'm sorry I speak my mind
If what I said is unkind
And now it feels like I'm on fire
These words are not the truth
Don't hold it against me
cause I know you're lying too
    
Is there any need for apologies
There's no reason to believe
Judgments born of my jealous mind
Creeping inside outside
Connections I've made never follow through
and sooner or later disappoint you
Cross you twice when your back is turned
That's how I'll love you
And someone has got to be hurt
Now it feels like I'm on fire
It's burning the world through
Don't let me fall
without someone to hold onto
Someone to hold onto
Someone to hold onto
