Intro C G E F

Verse 1
C               G
I am just another fool
E               F
and I have to keep telling myself that
C               G
I am just a hypocrite
E               F
and I have to keep calling you one
C               G
and/'cause I forgot to bite my tongue
E               F
as/and my assumption is the mother of all mistakes

Bridge
C       G
so I assume the role,
A               F       G
open my mouth, and clumsy words escape

Chorus
C          
So why you
Bb
wanna be there?
F
when you could be here
G
you are slipping away

Verse 2
C               G
I awake with your replacement
E       
a bottle in my grasp
F
in an unfamiliar place
C
'cause you put me out
G
the butt of your sick joke
E
into this ashtray life
F
as you come and go
C                       G
'cause I forgot to service you
E
and we broke down
F
and you can't live with my mistakes

Bridge
C           G
so I assume false grace
A
open my arms
F               G
and grasp at something true

Chorus
C           Bb
how are ya, how have you been
F
girl I miss you
G
wanna see you again
C          Bb
oh why ya, wanna be there?
F
when you could be here
G
girl I'm slipping away
