Tom : F#m
[Intro] F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
You showed me my tomorrow
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
Beside a box of matches
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
A welcomed threatening stir
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
My hopes of being stolen
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
Might just ring true
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
Depends who you prefer
F#m A
But if it's true you're gonna run away
D
Tell me where
D7
I'll meet you there
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m Am
I snapping the excitement
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
If I pack away the laughter
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
And tell you how it feels?
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
And does burden come to meet ya
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
If I've questions of the feature
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
That rolls on your dream reel?
F#m A
The day after you stole my heart
D
Everything I touched told me
D7
It would be better shared with you
F#m D7
With you
Bm F#m
And now you're hiding in my soup
Bm F#m
And this book reveals your face
Bm F#m
And you're splashing in my eyelids
Bm F#m Bm
As the concentration continually breaks
F#m Bm
I did request the mark you cast
F#m
Didn't heal as fast
D
I hear your voice in silences
D D7
Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud?
F#m7 F#m
In the jostling crowd
You're not allowed to tell the truth
And the photobooth's a liar!
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
Liar!
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
There is sharpened explanation
F#m F#m7 F#m6 F#m
But there's no screaming reason to enquire
F#m A D
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they'd never see if
D7 F#m
It smacks them in their temples
