[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G]
[D][G][D][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Nothing
that's forced can ever be right
If it doesn't come naturally,
[G]leave [Em]it[A]
[D]That's what she said as
she turned out the light
And we [Bm]bent our backs as
[F#]slaves of the night
She [G]lowered her guard
[Gm]and showed me the scars
She [D]got from [A]trying to fight
[Bm]Sayi[A]ng oh,[G]
[A]you'd better bel[D]ieve it
[G][D]

[Verse 2]
[G]
Well I'm [D]up to my neck in
the crum[G]bling wreckage
Of [D]all that I wanted from [G]life
When [Asus4]I looked for res[D]pect
all I [G]got was neglect
Though I swal[Bm]lowed the line
as [F#]a sign of the times
But [G]dealing a jack from
[Gm]the back of the pack
They [D]said-You [A]lose lose [Bm]again
[G]Oh, [A]I said, who needs i[D]t?[G][Bm]

[Verse 3]
Well [F#]don't get me wrong
now I tried to get on
With the [Bm]jokers that [A]got in my [G]way
[Gm]And I put on a smile and I tried all
the while to [D]be straight
[Bm]But [F#]they just wanted more all
the time and I'm sure
That you [Bm]know what I [A]mean when I [G]say
That [Gm]I'm sick of the touch and there's
only so much you can take.
[A]

[Verse 4]
Well [D]nothing that's real is [G]ever for free
And you [D]just have to pay
for it [G]sometime[Em]
[A]She [D]said it before, she said it to me
[G]I suppose she[Bm] believed
there was nothing [F#]to see
But [G]the same old [Gm]four imaginary walls
She [D]built for [A]living inside
[Bm]I sa[A]id oh, you[G] jus[A]t can't mean it[D]

[Interlude 1]

[Bm][F#][G][Gm]
[D][A][Bm][A][G][A]
[D][G][D][G]
[Em]
Well [F#]there was

[Verse 5]
never a doubt
that she had to get out
She was [Bm]just looking [A]around for [G]a way
In [Gm]the pit of the night there was
nowhere to hide any [D]more
She was [F#]out on a limb,
she was reaching for things
That she [Bm]wanted, but [A]just couldn't [G]say
And she [Gm]had to be sure that she
wouldn't get caught like before.
[A]

[Verse 6]
Well [D]nothing that's
forced can ever be right
If it doesn't come naturally,
[G]leave [Em]it
[A]That's [D]what she said as
she turned out the light
And [Bm]she may have been wrong,
and she [F#]may have been right
But I [G]woke with the frost,
and [Gm]noticed she'd lost
[D]The veil [A]that covered her eyes
[Bm]I sa[A]id o[D]h, you[G] can[A] leave[D]
[G][D][G][D]
[G][D][G]
[D][G][D]
[G][D][G][D]
