Tapping The Vain Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[A]I saw you standing all alone
across the crowded room.
[Am]I didn't t[C]hink that I would see you [Dm]soon and you,[F]
you [G]don't move.
[Am][A][Am]

[Verse 2]
You [G]wear your [Am]whole life there
in circles underneath your eyes.
[G]All I [C]need to know is how to
read [Dm]between the lines,
But [F]you somehow [Dm]hide [G]it
all.
[Am][A]

[Verse 3]
[Am]
[G]I watched [Am]you spill your drink and
laugh you're such a drama queen.
[G]You alw[C]ays look so good when
you [Dm]wear black and green,
But [F]you, you're not fooling
[Dm]any [G]one.[F][Am]
[G][F]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][F][Am][Dm]
[G][Dm][F][G][Am]

[Verse 4]
It [Am]was
crowded but I knew that you were close.
[G]I d[C]on't think I like this little
game [Dm]of cat and mouse,
But [F]you, you [Dm]don't [G]show.
[Am][A][Am][A]

[Verse 5]
[Am]
[G]It was [Am]almost 3 o'clock
when you walked up to me.
[G]I s[C]tarted to but found that
I just [Dm]could not speak,
But [F]you, you looked so [Dm]pre p[G]ared.
[Am]

[Verse 6]
You said something [G]and I
didn't know what it was.
[F]I watched your lips move but[G] your
[Em]voice wasn't loud enough.
[Am]So I just smiled a[G]nd nodded that's when you deci[F]ded to just wa[E]lk,
[Am]walk away.
[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
I got this overwhelming feeling
like there's something wrong.
[G]May[C]be it's the lighting or thi[Dm]s same old song,
but [F]it's just all in [Dm]my mi[G]nd.
[Am]I wa[G]tched you wa[Am]lk across the
room and then you disappeared.
[G]I l[C]ost you in the crowd beneath the[Dm] chandelier,
and [F]they, they [Dm]don't [G]care.[F]
[Am]You were on the terrace

[Verse 8]
[G]in [F]the ra[G]in.[Am]
I [G]asked you if you would come back [F]in [Am],
[Dm]but you just sighe[Em]d.[F]
I could [Dm]tell that [Am]you [G]were crying
By [F]the [Am]way the mas[G]cara r[Am]an d[G]own your
[F]face [Dm]in such tragi[G]c [F]line[Em]s.
[Am]

[Verse 9]
You said something and I
[G]didn't know what it was.
[F]I think that you sounded[G] like
you were [Em]a little drunk.
[Am]So I looked over y[C]our shoulder
[G]that's when you said
[F]I told you so and just [E]walked, [Am]walked [F]away.
I [Am]could tell that you were crying,

[Verse 10]
[G]
by [Am]the way
Mas[G]cara Ran down your [F]face
[Dm]In such trag[G]ic lines[Em][Am]
You [G]said something and I didn't

[Verse 11]
[G]
know what it was.
[F]Something about how you[Em] tried
but you're giving up.
[Am]So I leaned in for a k[G]iss
that's when you said
I [F]can't do this and just [E]walked,
[Am]walked away.
