[riff 1] 1x
g                   d
  my opinion could change today
b                   c
  I'm responsible anyway
g                       d
 for second to third-hand information
b                             c
  that complicates the complication

g                d
I dont think before I speak
       b                c
and I dont know how far my words reach
g                  d
  so wrong nearly every time
         b                c
that I'm sorry I speak my mind
b                 c
if what I said is unkind
            d                b
and now it feels like I'm on fire
       c                    d
these words are not the truth
                   b
dont hold it against me
         c              d
cause I know youre lying too
d b c d
        g             d
is there any need for apologies
b                           c
  theres no reason to believe
g                      d
judgments born of my jealous mind
b            c
  creeping inside outside
g                       d
connections I've made never follow through
b                         c
and sooner or later disappoint you
g                          d
cross you twice when your back is turned
b                c
  thats how I'll love you
b                       c
and someone has got to be hurt
   d                        b
now it feels like I'm on fire
c                d
it's burning the world through
             b
dont let me fall
        c                  d
without someone to hold onto
c                  d
someone to hold onto
c                  d
someone to hold onto
