Capo 5th fret
Em
Em G C x2
C Em
Intro
Em
Well the truth it fell so heavy
G
Like a hammer through the room
C G
That I could choose another over her
C Em
You always said I was an actor, baby
G D
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Em
That you never saw the signs
G
That you never lost your grip
C
Oh, come on now
G
That's such a childish claim
C
Now I wear the brand of traitor
Em
Don't it seem a bit absurd
G D
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
C Em
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
Em
Em
Now you act so surprised
G
To hear what you already know
C G
And all you really had to do was ask
C
I'd have told you straight away
Em
All those lies were truth
G D
And all that was false was fact
Em
Now you hold me close and hard
G
But I was like a statue at most
C G
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
C
Now you're clawing at my throat
Em
And you're crying all is lost
G D
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
C Em
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
Repeat Intro.
Em
Well the truth it fell so heavy
G
Like a hammer through the room
C G
That I could choose another over her
C Em
You always said I was an actor, baby
G D
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Em
Was it you who told me once
G
Now looking back it seems so real
C G
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
C Em
So why is it now after I had my fill
G D
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
C G
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
C Em
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
End on Em
END
