[E] [D]
[F#m]
[E] I've seen them [A] come and I've seen [F#m] them go.
[E] The string of [D] life plays out [F#m] that way.
[E] There have been [A] times that I've let [F#m] you know.
[E] I'm not [D] attracted to you [F#m] today.
[F] [E] No way.
[F#m] [F] [E] Uh-uh.
[F#m] [F] [E] Boom boom, there's [D] a joke in there [Bm] somewhere that's [F#m] been.
[E] Trouble [A] thoughts race round [F#m] my mind.
[E] Some of [D] the blackest you [F#m] can find.
[E] Unlike [D] the days [F#m] that fell before.
[E] We're not [D] connected
[F#m] anymore.
[F] [E] For sure.
[F#m] [F] No, [E] not now.
[F#m] [F] [E] Boom boom, I'm [D] your [F#m] dirty little [Bm] secret.
[Am] It's all yours to [G#] play.
[C] I won't give you [F#]
what's [Am] all yours [G#] to play.
[C] I won't give [F#] you a word.
[E] Boom boom, [D] [F#m]
[A] [E] boom boom.
[D] [F#m]
[E] We'll surely [D] turn [A] the [F#m] corners slowly.
[E] And move [D] the grey to black [F#m] and white.
[E] Just like [D] the phases [A] of [F#m] the moon.
[E] Just like [D] the rain will catch [F#m] the light.
[F] [E] Shy, [F#m]
[F] you're [E] not mine.
[F#m]
[F] [E] Boom boom, because [D] you can [A]
reject [Bm] the things they take [Am] away.
The way [G#] today, [C] is like a sad [F#] season.
You can't [Am]
reject [G#] the things, [C] the things, the things they [F#] take away.
[E] [D]
[F#m] [E]
Boom boom, [D]
