Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x2

 I can pretend for you, that I mean

 every word said it's true

 That I'd probably rather be like

 a stranger in disguise

And act as if nothing ever..

Died or faded away, got lonelier with age

And time isn't on our side

I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake

 And make it seem like they're overrated

You certainly talk about me more when

 I fall down

And when I get up, my time is never enough

 Loved in front behind my back hated

I guess it has everything to do with luck

x2

 I can defend the truth

 but I sound like white noise to my friends

 As I raise my glass to you

 In a stupor we speak words

That couldn't be more honest

Lies we lived before are fights without a war

I'm dead when it's in your head

I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink

 Are cutting our chances of being saved

I see that the end is all we have to let us know

I'd like to believe in something more than a dream

 For when the will to be one has faded

I guess the truth will soon be deceived

 My friend that isn't there,

My solitaire.
