INTRO: A5 - Ab5 - F#5 - E5 - D5 VERSE 1: A Baby says I'm tearing her down D Shoulder to shoulder I hold her too lightly A And baby says, D "Baby, your kiss don't do anything" A Oh sweetness, all I need's a brand new heart D It's old and it's cold and it's no longer golden A And baby says, D "Baby you're right, but that's no excuse" And my baby says, CHORUS: A E F#m D E A "It's a lie, it's a cop-out and I know you know I know why E F#m You won't try, cause you're scared and you're weak D E And you don't give a fuck about - me D And I do believe that you hate yourself." A F#m And I knew you'd never stay forever D Dm Holding it together, making songs for me A F#m And all right, forever's on your side D Dm Oh it's only time, it's longer than you think.
