It's so strange he doesn't show me more affection than he needs
Cm Abmaj7/F
Almost formal, too respectful, never takes romantic leads
Abmaj7/F G7/B
There are times when I imagine I'm not always on his mind
Cm Bb Ab
He's not thinking what I'm thinking, always half a beat behind
Fm7/Bb
Always half a beat behind
Eb Eb/D Eb/C Fm7 Bb F/A
I'm in every kind of trouble, can't you tell, just look at me
Gm Cm/F
Half ecstatic, half dejected, all in all I'm all at sea
Cm D
Easy turns I thought I wanted, fill me now with chilling dread
Gm Bb/F Bb
You can never know the chaos, of a life turned on it's head
Bb/F F
Of a life turned on it's head
Eb F/A Cm Ab F Bb F/A
Take a little time to panic, shake off your complacent state
Gm Cm/F
I know all I ever wished to, of a life destroyed by fate
Cm D
It's so strange you never notice anything but where you are
Gm Bb/F F
Step outside your gleaming prison, or is that a step too far
Bb/F F
Or is that a step too far
Eb F/A Cm Ab F Eb F/A Cm Ab F Eb F/A Cm Ab F Eb F/A Cm Ab F Bb
