D G D G D If I seem distant, Baby I am... Words are like scissors in your handsG A Bm C#/A And theres no script to follow, so I just close my eyesEm G A D That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbyeG D I feel just like an actress up on the stageG D I cant believe, what Im hearing myself sayG A Bm C#/A And the porch light is my spotlight. So I play along with this lifeG Em A Bm A Bm That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbyeG D Did you ever love me? Does it even matter?Em D Did you even notice the whole world shatter?G D I just want to hold you till you know Im sorryEm Bm C#/A But I just keep it all inside.G Em A D That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbyeG D My heart feels like a circus... Its too much to take inG D Its hard to lose love, but you were my best friendG A Bm C#/A So I walk this high wire... Alone tonightEm G A Bm A G That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbyeEm G A D That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye
