[A]
[F#] [C#m] [F#] Your heart a hug, [C#m] tough to [F#m] talk to And I never fall asleep [C#m] when you're in my
bed [F#m] All you give me is [C#m] a heartbeat
I've turned into a [A] statue [F#] And it makes me feel [C#m] depressed
[Cm]
[C#m] The only time [A] you open up [F#] is when we get [C#m] [G#] undressed
[C#m] You don't love me, [A] big fucking deal
[F#m] I'll never tell [C#m] you how [G#] I feel
[C#m] You don't love me, [A] not a big deal [F#m] I'll never tell [C#m] you how I feel
My [G#m] fears are too [F#m] much to lay out [A] apart [B]
[C#m] When you are not [G#m] the star in
[F#m] someone else's
[A] heart [F#m] You know I'd rather walk [E] alone [G#] than play a
sporting [C#m] role
[A] If I [G#] can't get the [C#m] starring [A] role
[F#m]
[C#m]
Sometimes I [A] ignore you [F#m] so I feel [C#m] in control [G#]
[C#m] Cause really, I [A] adore you [F#] and I can't leave
you [C#m] [G#] alone [C#m] I'm fed up [A] with the fantasies [F#] that go [C#m] on
[G#]
[C#m] Come on baby, let's just get drunk again Don't get [G#] on
[C#m] You love my [A] dad, you get [F#] on well I'll send my best regards [C#m] from hell
My [G#m] fears are too much [F#m] to lay out [A] apart [E]
[C#m] When you are not [G#m] the star in [F#m] someone else's
[A] heart [G#] You [F#m] know I'd rather walk [E] alone [G#] than play a
sporting [C#m] role
[A] If I [G#] can't get the [F#] starring role
I never thanked for love [G#] I [A] never had a heart to mend
[B]
[C#m] Because before the start [D#m] began [E] I always saw the end
[F#] I wait for you to open [C#] up [A] To give yourself to me
[B]
[C#m] But nothing's ever gonna give [G#m] I'll never set you free
[F#] Yeah, I'll never set you free
[C#m] My [B] fears are [F#m] too much to lay out [A] apart [E]
[C#m] [G#m]
[F#m] When you are not the star in someone else's
[A] heart You [F#m] know I'd rather walk [E] alone than [G#] play a
sporting [C#m] role
[A] If I [G#] can't get the [C#m] starring role
[F#] [C#m] The starring role
[A] [F#m] [C#m] [C#]
