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.
