Capo 3rd Fret
 
Intro: E-G-E-G
 
1st Verse
E           G
It’s not my problem anymore
E		        Esus - G
You see it never really was
E               G
So you can stop caring as you call it
E		       Esus - G
And I’ll be fine right here
 
Esus			  G
You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Esus                         C       D
So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you
 
Chorus:
E			  Esus - Am
But you see through my forever lies
Esus        Am    E
And you are not believing
E		     Esus - Am
And I see in your forever eyes
Esus            Am      E   G
That you are forever healing
 
2nd Verse:
E                   G
You can’t hear what I’m not saying
E                       Esus - G
And I can hold out long enough
E                G
Treading water I keep from sinking
E                Esus - G
I’m not one for reaching
Esus			  G
You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Esus                         C       D
So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you
 
Chorus:
E			  Esus - Am
But you see through my forever lies
Esus        Am    E
And you are not believing
E		     Esus - Am
And I see in your forever eyes
Esus            Am      E   G
That you are forever healing
 
Esus - Am     Esus - Am
Deny myself, Deny my heart
E
Deny your hand, Deny your help
    Esus - Am     Esus - Am
And you offer me eternity
C              D
But why should I buy that?

Esus			  G
You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Esus                         C       D
So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you
 
Chorus:
E			  Esus - Am
But you see through my forever lies
Esus        Am    E
And you are not believing
E		     Esus - Am
And I see in your forever eyes
Esus            Am      E   G
That you are forever healing
