Verse 1 (Riff 1)
I`ve lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I`ll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you`ll soon find we`re out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Chorus (Riff 2)
E5
Why I never walked away
C5
Why I played myself this way
G5 A5 B5
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
E5
Why I never walked away
C5
Why I played myself this way
G5 A5 B5
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Verse 2 (Riff 1)
I`ve tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I`ll take the blame for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you`ll soon find we`re out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Chorus (Riff 2)
E5
Why I never walked away
C5
Why I played myself this way
G5 A5 B5
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
E5
Why I never walked away
C5
Why I played myself this way
G5 A5 B5 C5
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Natural Harmonics
Lightly (and I MEAN lightly) place your finger on the fret you would like to play,
(try 12, it`s easiest) pluck the string and immediately remove your finger.
You should hear a very cool ringing sound like when you run your finger over crystal.
