Verse: Em, G, D

PreChorus: Em / D  Asus2  D

Chorus: C, D, Em, G

Verse 1:

Em    
Like a foggy mirror,

        G                D
Where receptions blurred

                               Em
And things could stand to be clearer.

                        G               D
Sometimes it's hard to look you in the eye.

Em                               G      D
If I could be the man on your shoulder

                   Em
A God as you grow older.

                  G        D
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.


Pre Chorus:

Em           /  D                 Asus2
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

         D
Of happy endings.

Em          /   D              Am
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

         D
A new beginning.

Chorus:

C                  D                          Em
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G
And all the promises they made us,


are all shattered on the ground.

Verse 2:

Em
Your defense,

       G            D
you've done no wrong

                      Em
And live life in innocence,

                        G           D
So how could they have looked you in the eye?

Em                            G       D
If I could be the man on your shoulder

                          Em
To Watch you as you grow older.

                  G       D
I'd sleep so much easier tonight.


Pre Chorus:

Em           /  D                 Asus2
Close your eyes, they'll tell a story,

         D
Of happy endings.

Em          /   D              Am
Close your eyes, re-write the story,

         D
A new beginning.


Chorus: x2

C                  D                          Em
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G
And all the promises they made us,

                           C
are all shattered on the ground.


Bridge:

              D
It's on the ground.

                       Em
And when the cards are down,


It's safe to say that all bets are off.

             C
It's on the ground.

                       D
And when the cards are down,

                  Em
Well it's time to play, it's hard to say.


So bet all call.



Chorus: x2

C                  D                          Em
It's not what they said, and it's not what we read

                          G
And all the promises they made us,

                           C     
are all shattered on the ground.


                         D
Shattered on the ground,


All the cards are down

Em
Everything they told us

     G                   C
has always been so wrong,

    D         Em        G / Em
So wrong, so wrong, so wrong.
