[Verse]
         Am                    
Well the truth it fell so heavy
       C                      
Like a hammer through the room
F                                  C  
■ That I could choose another over her
F                              Am  
You always said I was an actor baby
               C                           G
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur ■


[Chorus]
         Am                 
That you never saw the signs
         C                   
That you never lost your grip
        F     
Oh come on now
                       C    
That's such a childish claim
      F                        
Now I wear the brand of traitor
         Am               
Don't it seem a bit absurd
          C                        G     
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
          F                        Am    
When it's clear I was so obviously framed


[Verse]
    Am                  
Now you act so surprised
             C               
To hear what you already know
F                                  C  
■ And all you really had to do was ask
F                                
■ I'd have told you straight away
          Am            
All those lies were true
C                                 G
■ And all that was false was fact ■
        Am                    
Now you hold me close and hard
          C                    
But I was like a statue at most
F                                  C   
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt


[Chorus]
    F                          
Now you're clawing at my throat
           Am                
And you're crying all is lost
         C                                   
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
G        F                              Am   
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

[Verse]
Am                             
Well the truth it fell so heavy
C                             
Like a hammer through the room
F                                  C  
■ That I could choose another over her
F                 Am                 
■ You always said I was an actor baby
         C                         G      
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
       Am                  
Was it you who told me once
            C                    
Now looking back it seems surreal
F                                C                 
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill


[Chorus]
F                          Am         
■ So why is it now after I had my fill
C                                            G     
Would you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned


[Outro]
      F                     C      
Shall we call this a lesson learned
         F                  Am     
Shall we call this a lesson learned
