Verse:
                                Em
It's coming back the things you said to me,

                        Bm               G
I'm hiding away from reality

          Bm             C
Denying myself all the better parts

                                  F
Then you slip back and say don't take it hard

                            Em
And then I find it hard to sleep at all

                              Bm            G
Wishing I could give someone else a call

                Bm              C
Someone that's closer, closer, close to me

                              Am
Forgetting someone might come over me

                 G          Am                      G
Do you know the bar?                The way to the bar?



Chorus:

C                G
       But it's clear and bright now,

Bm               F                    C
       from the statements to the lies

                 G
       From the big black coffin,

Bm             F                   C
       to the black under your eyes

               G               Bm        F                   C
       But if life is complex,           why present a fake?

                G                Bm      F                 Em
       And when I close my eyes,         I still see this face

G                F              Em
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

2nd Verse (same progression as first verse)

No competition over ecstasy
Find ebb and tide when you're confronting me
I will admit all of my weaker parts
But I shut up if you don't want my point
My point of view to stand against your own
But I don't need to be put down this way
I'm going down this way, but you can stay

Do you know the bar? Know the way to the bar?


Chorus:
But it's clear and bright now,
from the statements to the lies
From the big black coffin,
to the black under your eyes
But if life is complex, why present a fake?
And when I close my eyes, I still see this face
Looking upon me, still upon me, still...

Em


Bridge:

          C               Am                  G
And it's black, because I know it will never work for me

          C               Am                G
And it's black, because I know I don't want us to be

 Em
Another opportunity, wasted by all of these,
Loose-ends,"they don't know their own best" -friends

And "let's pretend"...
