I don't want to argue about who is the victim, cause maybe we [E] both got burned.
I [Em] don't want to talk about who is the traitor, cause both of our [E] loyalties [Em] turned.
[G] I don't want to write about who [Em] is the liar, cause there's too many [E] ways to lie.
I [Em] don't want to hear about who is the winner, cause we both know it's [E] a die.

Your [Em] home is like a fortress, no one comes in but the florist, the gardener and the maid.
You [G] call me on the telephone, you say [Em] you're just so alone, you die and you [E] get dressed and get out.
