[Intro 1]
[Am][C][Am][C][F][C][Am][C][Em][F][Em][E]
[Em][Am][F]

[Verse 1]
I'm [F]watching you [Em]walk
As you [A]walk that [A5]distant [B]way[Am]
[F]Take that thing away [Em]from me
[C]Take away most [B]everything
I [F]couldn't say I'd [Em]blame you
You should [A]never look in [B]back
You [F]wouldn't be to [Em]blame
If you [C]couldn't take it [B]back[G]

[Verse 2]
Hours slipping [A]by as you [Bm]watch
The worlds [G]col[C]lide
[G]Now you're nothing [F]more
Than an[Em]other passerby
[C]The [G]dark it turns to [F]light
In a dis[Em]tant flash of [C]night
[G]Rolling with the [F]tide I con[A]fide
The act we wear it [Am]thin again

[Interlude 1]
[F]

[Verse 3]
If [F]affection holds you [Em]back
Then [A]what is left to [B]hold[G]
[F]If I could find the an[Em]swer to that
Ques[C]tion then I'd [B]know
The [F]thoughts that
Clutter [Em]up your mind
And [A]leave me feeling drained
[B]And [F]walking pacing [Em]up the walls
[C]Across the floor [B]again
All [Em]the

[Verse 4]
[G]things I haven't [A]seen
Once the fi[Bm]nal c[G]urtain h[C]as been raised
The [G]act we act is [F]wearing thin
The [Em]act we act we [C]under my skin
The [G]words the words we [F]said goodbye
The [Em]words left choking i[C]n my mind
The [G]act we act is [F]wearing thin
I [Am]think we wear it out [A]again[Am]

[Interlude 2]
[Em][F][C#][Bb][C][Bb]
[F][C#][Em][Bb][C][F][C#][Bb][C][G]
[F][C#][Bb][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]An other big explo[Am]sion
[A]Lea[Am]v ing[Bm] you[G] hoping[C]
[G]That something that once
[F]Held you down
Could [Em]leave you feeling
[C]On the ground

[Verse 6]
The con[G]fusion that persist[F]s
De[Em]cisions that you [C]guessed
The one to [G]stay and [F]watch this
The [Am]one you [Asus4]might have mis[Am]sed

[Verse 7]
[C]All the thi[G]ngs I haven't see[A]n
Once [Am]the fin[G]al c[Bm]urtain [G]has b[C]een raised
The [G]act we act is [F]wearing thin
The [Em]act we act we un[C]der my skin
The [G]words the words we
[F]said goodbye
[Em]The words left choking [C]in my mind
The [G]act we act is [F]wearing thin
I [Am]think [A]we wear [Am]it o[C]ut again
[G]The [Am]act [A]we a[G]ct
we un[C]der my skin
[G]The [F]act[Em] we act we under my[C]

[Verse 8]
[G]Forming a con[F]clusion[Em][C]
[G]An [F]d y[Am]ou'r[A]e left standing[Em]
