to what the band plays. If you have any comments on the tab please email me. Enjoy.

Intro: E-G-E-G
1st Verse
E G
It’s not my problem anymore
E Esus - G
You see it never really was
E G
So you can stop caring as you call it
E Esus - G
And I’ll be fine right here
Esus G
You see that I can play a pretty convincing role
Esus C D
So I don’t need you, I don’t think I need you
Chorus:
E Esus - Am
But you see through my forever lies
Esus Am E
And you are not believing
E Esus - Am
And I see in your forever eyes
Esus Am E G
That you are forever healing
