Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][G]
[C][Am][Dm][G]
[C]
[Am]This is no great [Dm]illusion

[Verse 1]
[G]When I'm with you
I'm looking for [C]a ghost
Or in[Am]visible [Dm]reasons
To [G]fall out of love and run screaming
from our [C]home
Because we live in a house of mirrors
[F]We see our fears and everything
Our song[Dm]s, faces,
[G]an d secondhand clothes
But more [C]and more
we're suffering
[F]Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Can keep [Dm]us from feel
[G]ing so all alone
[Dm]But you are what [G]you

[Verse 2]
love
And not [C]what loves [F]you back
That's why I'm [Dm]here on
your doorstep
[G]Pleading for you to take
[C]me back[F][C]

[Verse 3]
[Am]The phone is a fine [Dm]invention
It allows [G]me to talk endlessly
[C]to you
[Am]About nothing disguising my
[Dm]intentions
[G]Which I'm afraid, my friend,
are wildly un[C]true
It's a sleight of hand,
a white soul band
[F]The heart attacks I'm convinced I have
[Dm]Every morning [G]upon waking
To you I'm a sym[C]bol or
a monument
[F]Your right of passage to fufillment
[Dm]But I'm not yours for [G]the taking

[Verse 4]
But you [Dm]are what y[G]ou love
And not [C]what loves [F]you back
I guess [Dm]that's why you [G]keep calling me
[C]back[F]
[C][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 5]
[F]
[C]
I'm fraudulent, a thief at best
[F]A coward who paints a bullshit canvas
Thing[Dm]s that will never[G] happen to me
But at [C]arms length,
it's Tim who said
[F]I'm good at it, I've mastered it
Avoid[Dm]ing, avoid[G]ing everything
[Dm]But you are what

[Verse 6]
[G]you love, Tim
And not [C]what loves [F]you back
And I'm in love [Dm]with illusions
[G]So saw me in half
I'm in love [Dm]with tricks
So [G]pull another rabbit out [C]of your hat[F][C]
