1925

Dm
A calm and cooling motion
      Bb               F
It's shaking off my tension
Dm
Surprise, surprise
     Bb             F
It's called being alive
      Dm
The answers to my questions
      Bb              F
Repeating; Have I mentioned
Dm            Am       C               F
I lied? Don't like the way I'm being tried

[Pre-Chorus]
Gm          C               A        Dm
A lonely heart is what I'm slowly aiming for
Bb                     F
Forget what you see; leave it to me
Fm             A
I'll lead you there

[Chorus]
     Dm
It's not about the money
         Bb             F
But the world doesn't agree
  Dm               Am
A bribe, a lie, a trick
                Bb
We'll hide the truth
                F
And they won't see
     Dm
As long as you have changed your mind
      Bb           F
Your soul belongs to me
  Dm
We have got no pride
        Bb     C    F
And no honor to be seen

[Interlude]
Dm      Bb  F (3x)
Dm  Am  Bb  F

[Verse 2]
    Dm
"A little; just a little"
   Bb              F
A lie or just a riddle?
   Dm      Am
Appeal, I feel
      Bb           F
But only if it's real

     Dm              Am
"It works in this direction;
       Bb           F
Let's take another exit"
       Dm
You cheat, I see
          Am     C     F
You're not the one for me

[Pre-Chorus]
     Gm    C
The happiness of people
 A          Dm
Is such a fickle thing
    Bb
To bend and break
      F
The give and take
   G            A
Is too much for me

[Chorus]
  Dm
Love is just the gum
           Bb            F
That we replace without a care
 Dm               Am
Had your heart forever
      Bb             F
Now another day is here
Dm
The puzzle pieces
    Am             Bb       F
Of our life will rarely make a fit
    Dm
But we take our chances
    Bb   C       F
And go along with it

[Bridge]
       C
The pouring rain fills up your brain
    F
Again…
  C                                    F
It takes so much to weigh down your regrets
   Gm                              A         Dm  D
This life is drifting on the open sea…
       Gm          E                A
This boat is not enough for you and me…

[Interlude]
Dm      Bb  F
Dm  Am  Bb  F  (3x)

[Verse 3]
   Dm              Am        Bb              F
Building up your fences to avoid the best you can
     Dm           Am         Bb           F
All the laws and morals understood by fellow man
   Dm         Am            Bb              F
If I could be on the other side then I would be
        Dm          Am           C            F
"Oh, hello!" I'd say, but you'd never look at me

[Verse 4]
    Ebm                          B              Gb
If you ever bother asking me if love is really true
         Ebm             Bbm         Db                 Gb
I would stare you in the face and say it's looking right at you
       Ebm        Bbm               B          Gb
If I really understood you better than you know yourself
           Ebm                  Db   Bbm    Gb
Then I know I'm perfect for you and nobody else
