Verse 1:
Speak to me
Tell me something
so typical
A lullaby or
something miserable
That will keep me
up at night
Cross out my eyes
I know you planned it
You know I love you
and I can't stand it
We just lost control
Bbm(hold)
We just lost control
Chorus:
Lie to me
Give me something
worth living for
Tell me a reason
worth fighting for
Give me anything
Anything to keep
me breathing
(Repeat)
Verse 2:
Lie to me
Tell me stories
so beautiful
An epic or
something so terrible
That it makes me weep
Cross out these days
On your calendar
It hurts me so much
And I'm not quite sure
I care anymore
C# Ebm Bbm(hold)
I care any-more
(Repeat Chorus)
Interlude: Bbm--

Anything to keep

Verse 1:
Its so simple
And complicated the way you can crush me
No matter how much this hurts
This is through
I get as far as your door
before I get caught
I make up excuses just to
touch you and I can't stop
I can't stop
Chorus:
So are we playing for keeps
These days begin and they don't end for weeks
Leave me left out of anything to do with you
Excuse me while I fall apart
Don't flatter yourself sweetheart
Let me take the wheel and I'll crash this car
Do you have to make this So hard

And you'll use
every one of them
against me

Bridge:
I hope you choke
on every word
you spoke when you
were screaming at me
I realize how many times
you tried but that's
wishful thinking
All I want is an apology
for what you did and
how you treated me
Get me far away or at
least as far as
this car will take me
(Tell all your
friends about me)
(Repeat)

Verse 1:
We drive tonight and you are by myside

Time flies by with the sound of your voice
It's close to paradise with the end surely near
Refrain:
And If I could only stop the car and hold on to you
I'll never let go, I'll never let go
As we round the corner to your house you turn to me and said
"I'll be going through it rolled of you for this one night we have spent"
And I want to speak these words but I guess I'll just bite my tounge
And except someday somehow as a words that will hang from
Chorus: x2
And I, I don't want to speak these words
Coz I, I don't want to make things any worse
Verse 2:
Why does to---night, Have to end why don't we hit the start
It wasn't at our fa---vorite part, we'll skip the goodbyes
If I hadn't my way, I'll turn the car around and runaway
Just you and I
(Repeat Chorus)

Interlude:
Verse 1:
My eyes burn from
these tears

Good things won't

So what the hell am
I supposed to do
You only wanted the things
that I couldn't give to you
And you had it all anyway

Verse 2:
Tell me i'm wrong when I say
say I can't expect you to
spend forever with me
I live for that single moment
I take back everything i've said
You wore those words on your lips
As if they meant anything anyway
Sometimes I feel I could drop
off the face of the earth
It seems I do more harm than good
And I don't know if it's worth
me loosing sleep over this
(Repeat Chorus)

She slips away

I'm by your side
No words to speak
We'll set our course

Because it's the same one
