[Intro 1]
[E][A][Am]
[C][E][B][C][E][A][Am]
[C]

[Verse 1]
[C]You're time- [B]wasting again
[A]Biting your nails like [Am]you were [C]sixteen
Putting [E]up your little walls
When emotion's around
[A]Leave your little heart
In [Am]the l[C]ost and found
[E]Your friends would die laughing
If they saw you this way
Even though [A]they cry the same
tears [C]every day
[E]Where was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in [A]hand with your innocence
[Am]Gave[B] up the [C]ghost

[Interlude 1]
[E][Em][C][D]
[E]
[C][G][C][E][C][D]
[E][C][G]
[C]But it

[Verse 2]
doesn't do [E]to tell
You're at your best
When you're living hell
Just [A]put on your hard face
[Am]You know y[C]ou do that so well
Thank [B]god you wore
Your waterproof make- up today
And [A]who gives a damn about [C]him anyway?
To [E]him you're a body
And to hell with the mind
But [A]you get the same stick
from [Am]his t[C]ype all the time
Just [E]a couple of drinks
And they've got you tonight
And you [A]know the sad thing
Is that [C]they're often right

[Verse 3]
[E]Where was your heart
[C]When you needed it most?
[D]Hand in han[E]d with your innocen[C]ce
Gave up [G]the ghost
[E][G][C]
[D][Em][E][C]

[Verse 4]
[G]
They take [E]hold of your heart
And they [Em]spit it right [E]out
Make [A]a show of their con[Am]quest
When [C]their friends are about
Your [E]ego deflated
You gave up the fight
And [A]became the good- time-
had- [Am]by- a[C]ll- every- night

[Verse 5]
[E]And [Em]wher[E]e was your heart
When you needed it most?
Hand in hand with your innocence
[C]Gave up the [Eb]ghost
[C]

[Interlude 2]
[Eb][C]
[Eb][C][Eb]

[Verse 6]
No com[E]fort of beds
Or the softness of sheets
Just the [A]back of a car
[Am]Sprawled [C]across the back seats
And he'll [E]just not give up
And he's messed up your head
A [A]dish in the disco
[Am]But [C]a pig in the bed

[Verse 7]
So you [C]build up [E]a false love
affair [A]anyway
Photo[Am]copy soap opera
stor[C]ies all day
Where it [Em]all ends up fine
[E]And it all ends in church
And [A]the girl looks like you
[Am]And she [C]never really gets hurt

[Interlude 3]

[F#][F#m][G][C]
[G]And where

[Verse 8]
[E]was your heart
[C]When you[G] nee[C]ded it most?
Hand [D]in [C]hand with [E]your in[F#m]nocence
[G]Gave up [C]the [G]ghost[C]
