Tom : E
A C#m B
[Verse 1]
A
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
C#m B
I don't wanna hear you going on about it
A
Just save me from another year
C#m
Looking through my rear view mirror
B C#m
No, I don't want that
[Pre-Chorus]
B
Maybe it's just come to an end
E A
Don't need to bring us back from the dead
C#m B
Maybe it just ran its course
E A
And trying too hard only makes me feel
[Chorus]
F#m
Like we're a lost cause
E F#m
Like we're betting on a dead horse
A F#m
I try reaching out with both arms
E
For something that never was
F#m
For something that never was
[Verse 2]
A
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
C#m B E
I don't wanna hear you still going on about it
A
'Cause lately, I don't havе the tears
C#m
My conscious hasn't been this clear
F#m
And it makеs me feel
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus 2x]
A F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
E F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
[Bridge]
C#m B
Maybe it's just come to an end
E A
Don't need to bring it back from the dead
C#m B
Maybe it just ran its course
E A
And trying too hard only makes it worse
I feel
F#m E
I feel
F#m
I feel
[Chorus]
[Post-Chorus 2x]
A F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
E F#m
Reach out, reach out, reach out, reach out
