G#m            G#mmaj7  G#m7                          B(b5)/F
  You ought to know that    I think we're one and the same
  Emaj7                                                   B(b5)/F
I don't think we could help it, no, I don't think we could help it
G#m        G#mmaj7  G#m7                           B(b5)/F
  We don't talk much,     guess 'cause nothing has changed
        Emaj7                                 Emaj7*
And I'm not sure I like it, and I'm so tired of fighting
 
 
[Chorus]
     G#m               G#mmaj7        G#m7              B(b5)/F
If I told you, you know how to go and break my heart in two
         Emaj7                            Emaj7*
'Cause I will anyways, we'd end up like always
     G#m                G#mmaj7                G#m7         B(b5)/F
You know me, you better show me that you could say it to my face
       Emaj7                                               Emaj7*
'Cause you know we're the same, there's worse things I can take
 
 
[Interlude]
G#m  G#mmaj7  G#m7  B(b5)/F
 
 
[Verse 2]
G#m           G#mmaj7   G#m7                        B(b5)/F
    I know you hate it      when there's nothing to say
    Emaj7                                           Emaj7*
I'm not quite sure wе'd fix it, guess we're so usеd to it
G#m          G#mmaj7     G#m7            B(b5)/F
    Wish I'd known this       from the beginning
     Emaj7                                      Emaj7*
We'd find it hard to work out, why we have all this doubt
 
 
[Chorus]
     G#m               G#mmaj7        G#m7              B(b5)/F
If I told you, you know how to go and break my heart in two
         Emaj7                            Emaj7*
'Cause I will anyways, we'd end up like always
     G#m                G#mmaj7                G#m7         B(b5)/F
You know me, you better show me that you could say it to my face
       Emaj7                                               Emaj7*
'Cause you know we're the same, there's worse things I can take

The 4th chord is Fm7b5: xx3444 It can be clearly seen in the guitarist's left hand in this video. It is also the final chord in the sequence, particularly since the bass is sounding an F. This chart is creative; sounds good, but the original is just based on a simple minor cliché.
