Gm
I'm your Opheliac
  Gm
I've been so disillusioned
 Cm
I know you'd take me back
 Gm
But still I feign confusion
Gm
I couldn't be your friend
Gm
My world was too unstable
 E
You might have seen the end


[Pre-Chorus]
Gm
But you were never able
     D      E
To keep me breathing
       C           E
As the water rises up again
D        Gm       D
Before I slip away


[Chorus]
Gm            Am
You know the games I play
              Gm
And the words I say
                   D
When I want my own way
Gm                 Am
You know the lies I tell
                         B
When you've gone through hell
             D
And I say I can't stay
  Gm
You know how hard it can be
 Am
To keep believing in me
  Gm                Am
When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when
Gm
There's nothing more you can do
Am
I'm gonna blame it on you
 Gm
It's not the way I want to be
                         E
I only hope that in the end you will see
  Dm                  E
It's the Opheliac in me
 D                   E
It's the Opheliac in me (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah


[Verse 2]
 Gm
I'm your Opheliac
 E
My stockings prove my virtues (My virtues)
C
I'm open to attack
 D
But I don't want to hurt you (Don't want to hurt you)
  Gm
Whether I swim or sink
  E
That's no concern of yours now
  Cm
How could you possibly think


[Pre-Chorus]
 D                     Gm
You had the power to know how
 D            E
To keep me breathing?
          C        F
As the water rises up again
 D     Gm          Dm
Before I slip away


[Chorus]
 Gm
You know the games I play
 Gm
And the words I say
                Dm
When I want my own way
Gm                Am
You know the lies I tell
 Bm
When you've gone through hell
          D
And I say I can't stay
 Gm                      D
You know how hard it can be

To keep believing in me
 Gm
When everything and everyone

Becomes my enemy and when
Gm                            D
There's nothing more you can do

I'm gonna blame it on you
Gm
It's not the way I want to be
                          E
I only hope that in the end you will see
 B
It's the Opheliac in me


[Bridge]

Studies show:
  Gm
Intelligent girls are more depressed

Because they know
N.C.
What the world is really like

Don't think for a beat it makes it better

When you sit her down and tell her
N.C.
Everything gonna be all right

She knows in society she either is

A devil or an angel with no in between
N.C.
She speaks in the third person

So she can forget that she's me

   E                  Gm
Doubt thou the stars are fire
  E                 Gm
Doubt thou the sun doth move
 E                Gm
Doubt truth to be a liar
 E
But never doubt
  E                    Gm
Doubt thou the stars are fire
   E                 Gm
Doubt thou the sun doth move
   E              Gm
Doubt truth to be a liar
 E               Gm
But never doubt I love
