                               B                       Gb       
How can you be so certain that you're the one flirting with fire
                              B              Gb      
If each choir needs preaching and everyone's reaching
                                    Abm
Into their pockets to see what they got
         B               Gb                             
If not a lot has changed ■  but if everything's changing
         B           Gb            Db                   Abm       
Blame to see you sin ■  but no one sees face to face or eye to eye
     B                 Gb    
This is not how it has to end
Db              Abm           
Who wants to be one step ahead
    Gb               Db       
And the first to the punchline
Abm                
Just one step ahead
Gb           Db        Abm
First to the punchline ■  


[Chorus]
        B                           Abm
When it feels like it's all closing in 
        B                            Abm7   
All the lines we won't cross we bend instead
B                                           Abm    
Never mind all the noise going through your head oh
Gb                   E               Abm                    
'cause every time we talk we say the same things that we say
           Gb                 E                        Abm7
'cause you never mind all the noise going through your head
Gb Abm B Gb Db

[Verse]
                             B                    Gb      
How can I be so certain that my first impressions are mine
        Abm               B                   Gb         
If each morning I wake up with circles around me that say
                       B                    
I got mine I give in I give up it's too much
Gb                     Db  
Come on let's give 'em hell
           Abm         
No why not love you say
       B                   Gb                      Db   
Be too hard and that's not enough in this house of cards
                Abm           
Who wants to be one step ahead
        Gb           Db       
And the first to the punchline
     Db            
Just one step ahead
Abm Gb           Db        Abm
The first to the punchline ■  


[Chorus]
        B                           Abm
When it feels like it's all closing in 
        B                            Abm    
All the lines we won't cross we bend instead
B                  Ebm                      Abm    
Never mind all the noise going through your head oh
       Gb            E               Abm                 Abm7
'cause every time we talk we say the same things that we say 
    Gb            E                Abm                    
And every line we cross we say the same things that we say
Gb            E               Abm      Abm7                    
Every time we try we play the same old games it's all been said
Gb                     E                        Abm 
Now never mind all the noise going through your head
