G | onna find a way to cure this loneliness |
Yeah, I’ll find a way to cure the pain
If I said that you're my friend, and our love would never end
| F |
How long before I had your trust again | |
| D |
I | opened up the doors when it was cold outside |
Hopin’ that you’d find your own way in
But how can I protect you, or try not to neglect you
When you won't take the love I have to give
Bm |
I bought me an illusion |

And I p | ut it on the wall |

| D |
You k | now I never thought that it could take so long |
You know I never knew how to be strong
Yeah, I let you shape me, but I feel as thought you raped me
'Cause you climbed inside my world and in my songs
So now I've closed the door to keep the cold outside
Seems somehow I've found the will to live
How can I forget you, or try not to reject you

When we both know it takes time to forgive | , | yeah | → | |

Gonna have some fun with my frustration |
Gonna watch the big screen in my head
I'd rather take a detour
'Cause this road ain't getting clearer
Your train of thought has cut me off again
Better tame that boy 'cause he's a wild one
Better tame that boy 'fore he's a man
Sweetheart don't make me laugh
You's getting too big for your pants
And I's think maybe you should cut out while you can

Ow, | you can use your illusion |

| D |
I’m t | aking time for quiet consolation |
In passing by this love that’s passed away
I know it's never easy, so why should you believe me
When I've always got so many things to say
Calling off the dogs a simple choice is made
'Cause playful hearts can sometimes be enraged
You know I tried to wake you, I mean how long could it take you
