C
Don't make me read your mind
             F
You should know me better than that
C
It takes me too much time
             F
You should know me better than that
C         
You're not that much like me
             F
You should know me better than that
C
We have different enemies
             F
You should know me better than that
Am                                        C
I should leave it alone but you're not right
Am                                        C
I should leave it alone but you're not right
C
Can't you write it on a wall
              F
You should know me better than that
C
There's no room to write it all
              F
You should know me better than that
C
Can you turn the TV down
             F
You should know me better than that
C
There's too much crying in the sound
             F
I should know you better than that
Am                                         C
I should leave it alone but you're not right
Am                                         C
I should leave it alone but you're not right


Chorus:
Am                                  F  C     F
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
C        F     C
Behind
C
Think about something so much
             F
You should know me better than that
C
Start to slide out of touch
             F
You should know me better than that
C
Tell yourself it's all you know
             F
You should know me better than that
C
Learn to appreciate the void 
             F
You should know me better than that

Am                                  F  C     F
I should live in salt for leaving you behind
C        F     C
