[Intro 1]
[G][E][Em][G][Em][E][Em][G][Em][G]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
Well a [E]thing was said to [G]me
Time's your enemy
It may heal a wound [Em]but it
[G]won't hide a [Em]scar[G]
And the [Em]only thing [G]to do
Is to yourself [E]be [G]true
'Cause [Em]a head that's in the cloud
[G]s won't see the [Em]stars[G]

[Verse 2]
[C#m]When I was young,[D]
I never walked [E]away[F#m]
[C#]I'd nail my co[D]lours to the wall[E][F#m]
[C#]Though black and w[D]hite soon turned
to shades [E]of grey[F#m]
There is [G]one thing that I
[A]really know for [B]sure

[Verse 3]
[Bm][Chorus]
[Em]Nobody's gonna [G]set me [A]up[Em][G]
[Em]Nobody's gonna[G] set me up

[Verse 4]
There's a [Em]bitterness in [G]you
'Cause all you [Em]ever [G]do
Is to drag your spir[E]it
[G]screaming to the floor
But you gotta make [Em]your luck
[G]Before your time is [Em]up[G]
[Em]And they take you in your [G]box
out through the [Em]door[G]

[Verse 5]
[C#m]But I'm not saying[D]
I don't [E]care at [F#m]all
[C#m]I'd rescue yo[D]u before
you [E]drown[F#m]
[C#m]But if beh[D]ind my back
[E]they start [F#m]to talk
I'm a [G]tougher kind [A]of man this [B]time
[Bm]arou[Em]nd
[E][Em][G]

[Verse 6]
[E]
[Chorus]
[G]When[Em][G][Em][G][Em][G][E]
[G][E][Bm][G][Bm][G]
[Bm]
[G]you[Bm] look back and see what you have done[G][Bm]
Well was it really that [G]much [Bm]fun

[Interlude 1]
To laugh and kick the fallen ones
[G][Bm][G][F][G][Em][G]
[Em]
[Eb][Baug][G][Em][G][D][Esus4][G]
[Em][G][D][Em][G]

[Verse 7]
Gonna [G]grow another skin
This [Em]one's getting [G]thin
I've been [Em]bitten twice [E]but nev
[G]er lost [Em]my n[E]erve[Em][G]
Well you [Em]gotta hide [G]the hurt
[Em]When people dish the [G]dirt
'Cause if you [Em]don't try [E]nothing
that's [G]what you de[Em]serve[G]

[Verse 8]
[C#m]There are people[D] with their
eye[E]s o[F#m]f green
[C#m]Smiling when you ta[D]ke a fall[E][F#m]
[C#m]Maybe a frie[D]nd or someone
[E]never [F#m]seen
But [G]even with my [A]back against the [B]wall
[Em][G][Em][E][G][Em][E][G]

[Verse 9]
[G][Chorus]
People said to me
Time's your enemy
It may heal a wound [Em]but it w[G]on't hide
a scar
[E][G][E][G][E][G]

[Verse 10]
[E][G]
[Chorus]
And the only thing to do
[E]Is[G][E][Em][G][E][G][E][G]
[E][G]
[G]to [E]you[G]rself be true[G]
'Cause a head that's in the cloud
[G]s, won't see the stars
