[VERSE 1]

 

   Am             

Oh, life is bigger

Em  

  It's bigger than you

           Am

And you are not me.

                        Em

The lengths that I will go to,

                     Am   

The distance in your eyes,

Em                     Dm

  Oh no, I've said too much,

        G

I set it up.

 

[CHORUS]

 

                 Am

That's me in the corner,

                 Em

That's me in the spotlight

           Am

Losing my religion.

         Em

Trying to keep up with you.

     Am                          Em

And I don't know if I can do it.

                     Dm

Oh no, I've said too much,

                G

I haven't said enough.

 

[BRIDGE]

 

                            F

I thought that I heard you laughing,

    Dm             G        Am   G/B   C   Dsus2

I thought that I heard you sing.

     F               Dm   G  Am    G

I  think I thought I saw you try.

 

 

[VERSE 2]

 

          Am                   Em

Every whisper of every waking hour

                   Am

I'm choosing my confessions,

          Em

Trying to keep an eye on you

       Am                                 Em

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

                     Dm

Oh no, I've said too much,

         G

I set it up.

 

[VERSE 3]

 

         Am

Consider this, consider this,

    Em

The hint of a century,

         Am

Consider this: the slip

     Em

That brought me to my knees failed.

Am

What if all these fantasies

     Em

Come    flailing around?

         Dm       G

Now I've said too much.

 

 

 

 

[BRIDGE]

 

                            F

I thought that I heard you laughing,

    Dm             G        Am   G/B   C   Dsus2

I thought that I heard you sing.

     F               Dm   G   Am   G

I  think I thought I saw you try.

I  think I thought I saw you try.

    F               Dm   G

But that was just a dream,

Am   G/B     C    Dsus2   

Try, cry,   why,   try.

F                      Dm  G     Am            G

That was just a dream,    just a dream, just a dream, dream.
