C#m           G#m
Tell me how you can still
E                    F#m
Cut to my core with one sentence
C#m    G#m      C#m    G#m
After all these years

C#m           G#m
What's the message
E                    F#m
Do I give up on giving in
C#m      G#m     C#m     G#m
Or throw the towel in altogether

[Chorus]

               F#m
I can't keep on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I won't last long like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't go on like this
C#m      E             F#m
I'm sure I can't keep on
Bm                            C#m       F#m
Living in the shadows of such beautiful people

[Verse 2]

C#m           G#m
I've never been so inspired as
E                    F#m
When we were together babe
C#m     G#m      C#m     G#m
Don't take that to mean I miss you

C#m           G#m
I don't want you in any kinda way
E                  F#m
We all grow, we all change
C#m    G#m      C#m    G#m
Some more slow than others, but

[Chorus]

                      F#m
I can't keep on like this
C#m      E                      F#m
I'm sure I won't last long like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't go on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't keep on
Bm                                 C#m    F#m
Living in the shadows of such beautiful people

[Bridge]

G#m      Am               E
Insatiable, unsociable, incapable at compromising
G#m             Am                E
These are the things my head says I am
G#m             Am                E
Insatiable, uncomfortable, incapable at socialising
G#m       Am              E
These are the things my head says I am

[Verse 3]

C#m               G#m
New love hasn't brought me peace
E                    F#m
Or set my soul at ease babe
C#m     G#m       C#m     G#m
I met good man with a brave heart

[Chorus]

                     F#m
I can't keep on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I won't last long like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't go on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't keep on
Bm                            C#m         
Living in the shadows of such beautiful
F#m
Beautiful people

                      F#m
I can't keep on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I won't last long like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't go on like this
C#m      E                  F#m
I'm sure I can't keep on
Bm                            C#m        F#m
Living in the shadows of such beautiful people
