Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 She's like a reflex, making your knees bend back

 It's automatic and unconditional

Breathing all of your secrets, oh

 It's problematic, but once you've had it

 You can never get back the way

 You used to be, it's harder to breathe

 No you can never get back the way

 You used to be before she came

And now

she's on top

 You're having second thoughts

 But she won't stop

 It's a little out of hand

 One night stand up,

nothings right now

And when the light's out

Under your breath you confess

She's got to go

 Everything's backwards, you are the apparatus

 It's acrobatic, untraditional

The perfect shape of a perfect love

 It might be plastic but once you've had it

 You can never get back the way

 You used to be, it's harder to breathe

 No you can never get back the way

 You used to be before she came

And now

she's on top

 You're having second thoughts

 But she won't stop

 It's a little out of hand

 One night stand up,

nothings right now

And when the light's out

Under your breath you confess

 She's got to go

 I can't pretend, that I'm in control.

 And it's sinking in, that she's got to go

Interlude

For this pre-chorus, only strum once in the place where the chord is listed

 You can never get back the way

 You used to be, it's harder to breathe

 No you can never get back the way

 You used to be before she came

And now

she's on top

 You're having second thoughts

 But she won't stop

 It's a little out of hand

 One night stand up,

nothings right now

And when the light's out

Under your breath you confess

She's got to go

End repeating
