Intro

Am
Well the truth it fell so heavy
C
Like a hammer through the room
F                                C
That I could choose another over her
F                          Am
You always said I was an actor, baby
C                                    G
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Am
That you never saw the signs
       C
That you never lost your grip
        F
Oh, come on now
                          C
That's such a childish claim
       F
Now I wear the brand of traitor
          Am
Don't it seem a bit absurd
          C                             G
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
          F                            Am
When it's clear I was so obviously framed

Am

        Am
Now you act so surprised
   C
To hear what you already know
F                                 C
And all you really had to do was ask
F                    
I'd have told you straight away
            Am
All those lies were truth
C                          G
And all that was false was fact


Am
Now you hold me close and hard
C
But I was like a statue at most
F                                  C
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
F
Now you're clawing at my throat
Am
And you're crying all is lost
C                                        G
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
F                                        Am
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt

Guess in truth you thought me just amateur


Am
Was it you who told me once
C
Now looking back it seems so real
F                                C          
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
F                        Am  
So why is it now after I had my fill
C                                          G
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
F                              C
Shall we call this a lesson learned?
F                              Am
Shall we call this a lesson learned?

End on Am
