Bear with me on the lyrics, they may not be 100% correct since I can't find them
are the internet yet. This tab is broken down quite a bit, so it may be a tad confusing. Let me
if you find any errors!
Intro: This can either be played by 1 guitar or 2. I broke it up into 2 guitars for ease.

Hey you, in the middle of the night with the lights on,
Do you believe that you could love?
Hey you, with your head up in the clouds with your lights closed,
Did you ever think we'd grow?
2nd half of 1st verse: Guitar 1 keeps playing the intro riff while guitar 2 plays the following:

Hey you, thought we'd never get away just to save face,
And the silence of it shows,
Hey you, you could wish it all away in a heartbeat,
But is it free, it free, it free, free, free, free,

Chorus lyrics:
Don't you stop, everybody wants you but you
Can't say no, if you really tried, but you
See inside, if you could believe it but you
Can't, believe a single word,I
Say to you, would you ever want to walk a-
-way from here, if you really loved,
Believe now, whatever you want to be-
-lieve, but you can't believe a word,I
Said, I can't believe a word...
