[B5]Lies and deceiving is [G#5]what I'm believing
[F#5]Up to my knees so hard to breathe
It [E5]helps that you aren't there
[B5]Can't figure out what's the [G#5]right thing for me
[NC]Guess I'll have to wait and [B5]see**
[F#5]So under[E5]standing but [F#5]so far from the [G#5]truth
It's [F#5]what I have to live with
It's [E5]not all I [F#5]wanted to [B5]be
It's [E5]not all I [F#5]wanted to [B5]see
I [G#5]can't keep on [F#5]leading
I've [B5]left what I'm [E5]leaving
[G#5]Guess that's just [E5]what I believe

Consciously taking and overly faking
I can't believe all the things that you're saying
Seems all so simple it's all up to you
[F#5]Time after time
You [E5]lost what you couldn't find[B5]
It's what you [F#5]could
What you [E5]could
It's [G#5]only what you [F#5]could
It's what you [B5]could
Don't [F#5]take what you [E5]could
But [G#5]I know what's [F#5]up[B5]
