+ [D] [A] [Em] [G] [A]
- [Verse 1]
+ Verse 1:
+ Your [G] words cut rather deeply, they're [A] just some other lies
+ I'm [D] hiding from a distance, I've [A] got to pay the price
+ De [G]-fending all against it, I [A] really don't know why
+ You're ob-[Bm] sessed with all my secrets, you [A] always make me cry
+ You [G] seem to wanna hurt me, no [A] matter what I do
+ I'm [D] telling just a couple, but some [A] how it gets to you
+ But I've [G] learned to get revenge
+ And I [A] swear you'll [Bm] experience that [G] someday
- Em
- Now there was a time when they used to say
- Em
- That behind every - "great man"
- Em
- There had to be a - "great woman"
- Em
- But in these times of change you know
- Em
- That it's no longer true
- Em
- So we're coming out of the kitchen
- B7 B7
- Cause there's something we forgot to say to you (we say)
+ |Chorus:
+ |I'm [D] sitting down here, but [A] hey you can't see me
+ |[Em] Kinda invisible you [G] don't sense [A] my stay
+ |[D] Not really hiding, [A] not like a shadow
+ |Just [Em] thought I would join you for one [G] day [A]
+ |I'm [D] sitting down here, but [A] hey you can't see me [G] (see me, see me)
+ Verse 2:
+ [G] I'm not trying to avoid you, just don't [A] wanna hear your voice
+ When you [D] call me up so often, I don't [A] really have a choice
+ You're [G] talking like you know me, and [A] wanna be my friend
+ But [Bm] that's really too late now, I won't [A] try it once again
+ You may [G] think that I'm a loser, that [A] I don't really care
+ May [D] think that it's forgotten, but [A] you should be aware
+ 'Cause I've [G] learned to get revenge
+ And I [A] swear you'll [Bm] experience that [G] someday
