[Verse 1]
 
G   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
 
 
[Hook]
 
                  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
And I don't know if I can do it
Em                  Dm
Oh no I've said too much
                  G
I haven't said enough
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                            F
I thought that I heard you laughing
                   G        Am
I thought that I heard you sing
   F                     G   Am
I think I thought I saw you try
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G      Am
Every whisper
                 Em
Of every waking hour
                 Am
I'm choosing my confessions
           Em
Trying to keep an eye on you
        Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool
Em                    Dm
Oh no, I've said too much
         G
I set it up
 
 
         Am
Consider this, consider this
     Em
The hint of the century
          Am
Consider this
                Em
The slip 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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                            F
I thought that I heard you laughing
                   G        Am
I thought that I heard you sing
   F                     G   Am
I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream,   try, cry, why, try
F                      G      Am            G
That was just a dream, just a dream, just a dream, Dream

I play the outro like this, on the last line you play F G Am G, then back to Am for a single down strum then pick the high open E string I think 7 times, repeat the single down strum on the Am and pick the E string, you do this three times Am Am Am e|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------| B|-1---------------1---------------1------------3-1-3-1--1--| G|-2---------------2---------------2---------------2----2-2-| D|-2---------------2---------------2------------------------| A|----------------------------------------------------------| E|----------------------------------------------------------|
