Nevertheless - Topics Chords

Verse 1:
              Bbm
She spent the night out with a guy
            Ab                                C#
Who gives attention when she cries herself to sleep
            Ab
I heard her say
        Bbm
So, she gives him what he wants
   Ab                            C#
As long as he can make her feel okay
               Bbm Ab
But she's not okay

Chorus:
F#
We avoid the topics
   C#
We make the kids have secrets
Bbm
When they are exposed
Ab
And everyone else knows
      F#
We'll say we never knew it
C#/F
That they had a problem
       A#m/D#
'Cause if we would have known
   C#                Ab
We surely would have solved it
       Bbm         C#  F#
But we can't, it's too late
          Bbm         C#  F#
I said we can't, it's too late

Verse 2:
              Bbm                       
He's skipping classes 'cause he hates them
             Ab                           C#
And hopes he passes not to take them all again
            Ab
I heard him say
   Bbm     
He escapes them with the pills
            Ab                                C#
The ones he takes to make him feel like he's okay
             Bbm Ab
But he's not okay

Chorus

Bridge
Ebm
God, You've got to save us
   F#                            Bbm        F#    Bbm/F#
We hide behind the faces that we make to disguise
    Ebm   
The things that we're ashamed of
    F#                               Bbm       Ab   G#sus
And all the ugly things that make us close our eyes
             C#        F#
They make us close our eyes
          Bbm       F#
Why do we close our eyes?

Chorus

end on Ab
