Verse 1:

i was only looking for a shortcut home

but it's complicated

so complicated

somewhere in this city is a road i know

where we could make it

but maybe there's no making it now

Chorus:

too long we've been denying

now we're both tired of trying

we hit a wall and we can't get over it

nothing to relive

it's water under the bridge

you said it, i get it

i guess it is what it is

Verse 2: same as verse 1

i was only trying to bury the pain

but i made you cry and i can't stop the crying

was only trying to save me

but i lost you again

now there's only lying

wish i could say it's only me

Chorus 2: same as previous chorus

too long we've been denying

now we're both tired of trying

we hit a wall and we can't get over it

nothing to relive

it's water under the bridge

you said it, i get it

i guess it is what it is

Bridge:

here it comes ready or not

we both found out it's not how we thought

F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)

that it would be, how it would be

if the time could turn us around

what once was lost may be found

F#m Bm C#5(just 1 strum)

for you and me, for you and me

Solo: Same as intro

Last Chorus: same as before

too long we've been denying

now we're both tired of trying

we hit a wall and we can't get over it

nothing left to relive

it's water under the bridge

you said it, i get it

Dsus2 (keep for 2 bars)

i guess it is what it is

i was only looking for a shortcut home

but it's complicated

so complicated

Hope it's right! Enjoy!
