(verse 1)
Gm                   Gm7M       Gm7                        C
  Right in front of me, a couple makes what could melt the snow
Gm                Gm7M       Gm7               C
  Making fun of me   a single look never cut me so

 (chorus)
        Cm F   A#             Gm
  And I go to save the conversation
     Cm F   A#            Gm       Cm     F       A#            Gm
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 Cm                       C7M                  Gm
  Everyone would love me, if I could fool the world

(transition) Gm   Gm7M   Gm7   C

(verse 2)
Gm                Gm7M         Gm7                C
  Walk away from me, I see the change in the atmosphere
Gm               Gm7M          Gm7                   C
  What a way to be, to turn the page just to make it clear

(chorus 2)
        Cm F   A#             Gm
  And I go to save the conversation
     Cm F   A#            Gm       Cm     F       A#
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 Cm                       C7M                  Gm
  Everyone would love me, if I could fool the world

(interlude)
      Cm             A# F   Gm
  To fear, or to disappear
                   Cm     D
  What a waste of time...

(verse 3)
Gm                   Gm7M         Gm7              C
  What a troubled mind   a fortune find for another day
Gm                   Gm7M         Gm7                      C
  As you're passing by, you look behind to see what I would say

(chorus 3)
        Cm F    A#             Gm
  And I go to change the conversation
     Cm F   A#            Gm       Cm     F       A#            Gm
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
 Cm                       C7M
  Everyone would love me, if I could
       Cm F    A#             Gm
  So I go to change the conversation
     Cm F   A#            Gm       Cm             Gm   F  C
  I know a deeper contemplation is all I need to make believe
Cm                       C7M
  Everyone would love me... if I could fool... the world

(transition)
Gm   Gm   Gm   A#5 (x5)
  "Ladies and gentlemen, Backhouse Mike!"

(bridge)
Cm                        Gm              Cm                     Gm
  I can't survive another day in the life, without a day in the sun
Cm                              Gm            Cm                     Gm
  Before you touch me here's a word of advice; if I were you I would run

  (Get it, come get it, come get it, come get it)
   N.C.                        Cm
  (So won't you tell me why it is...)
                           Gm            Cm                      Gm
  That every corner of my head is a home, but every fool is the same
Cm                          Gm           Cm                      A#
  It'd be so tragic if you left me alone, but left me no one to blame

(bridge 2)
         F#                F          A#
  Well, don't it make you wonder what got us here?
       F#              F            A#
  The covers that were under could disappear
   F#       F          Gm
  Promises keep us in chains, my dear...

(outro) Gm   Gm   Gm   A#5 (7x)
