Capo 3rd Fret

Intro: E-G-E-G

1st Verse

E G

It’s not my problem anymore

E Esus - G

You see it never really was

E G

So you can stop caring as you call it

E Esus - G

And I’ll be fine right here

Esus G

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role

Esus C D

So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you

Chorus:

E Esus - Am

But you see through my forever lies

Esus Am E

And you are not believing

E Esus - Am

And I see in your forever eyes

Esus Am E G

That you are forever healing

2nd Verse:

E G

You can’t hear what I’m not saying

E Esus - G

And I can hold out long enough

E G

Treading water I keep from sinking

E Esus - G

I’m not one for reaching

Esus G

You see that I can play a pretty convincing role

Esus C D

So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you

Chorus:

E Esus - Am

But you see through my forever lies

Esus Am E

And you are not believing

E Esus - Am

And I see in your forever eyes

Esus Am E G

That you are forever healing

Esus - Am Esus - Am

Deny myself, Deny my heart

E

Deny your hand, Deny your help

Esus - Am Esus - Am

And you offer me eternity

C D

But why should I buy that?
