Intro:
C#m A B C#m A B A B
Verse 1:
C#m
You're not running just enough of a wreck
A B
To hold the hurt heart everybody expects
C#m
And I know you wrote a history of making a mess
A B
Misunderstood's an understatement at best
Pre-Chorus:
C#m A
How long, how long will you demand my sympathy?
B A B
We all know hurt so why do you feel the need to?
A B
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
G#m F#m
No one's buying it anyway
Chorus:
C#m A E
You're so tired trying to rewind the mess you've made of your own mind
G#m B
(Woah) But the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know
C#m A
You can fight just like you've been taught
E
It won't undo the life you've got
G#m B
(Woah) 'Cause the pieces won't pick up themselves, you know
C#m A B
(Verse 1)
Pre-Chorus 2:
C#m
You say you try,
A
You're after something better
B
It doesn't show,
A B
You're still not put together
A B
Put on a pretty face, give them a pretty taste
G#m F#m
No one's buying it anyway
(Chorus)
C#m A B
Bridge:

C#m B A B
I am getting close, I can see just what's going on
D#m C#m B A B
Everybody knows, everybody knows (Woah)
C#m A C#m B G#m A
I remember what you were before you gave it away
C#m B A B
You've never been the type to watch the pieces fall where they may
And now you've let it go
