 Verse:
Similar to previous verse, but instead strum the first 6 chords.
The last 2 bars also vary a bit:

  Am7         Am7/13        D7
|-3---3-3-3---2---2-2-2-2-|-----2-2-----2---2-2-2---|

|-0---0-0-0---0---0-0-0-0-|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|-------------------------|



 Chorus:
Similar to previous chorus; the stummed chords in the last 2 bars are new though:

  G              E7
|-3-----------||-4-----------|
|-0-----------||-0-----------|  On the E7 it modulates up 2 semi-tones.
|-0-----------||-1-----------|  Non-relative to the capo that is from
|-0-----------||-0-----------|  Bb major up to C major, and in the album
|-x-----------||-2-----------|  version that is from B major up to Db major.
|-3-----------||-0-----------|



 Modulated Chorus:
    A     Amaj7   A6    Amaj7   Bm7           Bm7/13

 LYRICS
**********
Something sweet
Everytime we meet
There's no doubt about it
But I wish I knew�
What I'm supposed to do with you, siren

'Cause you pretend
To be more than a friend
This is the sweetest feeling
But I don't understand�
If it's part of a plan to be lying
To me siren

Still tonight I fall for the stars in your eyes
I apologize but I want you to know
That my heart is broken
My high is low
That's how far you go

I can see what you're doing to me
But I don't know the answer
And I just couldn't take
If I made the mistake of not trying

But easy come and easy go
I don't wanna cry about it
Now that I've got it clear
That you only appear to be lying
To me siren

But tonight I fall for the stars in your eyes
I apologize but I want you to know
That my heart is broken
My high is low
That's how far you go

I apologize but I want you to know
That my heart is broken
My high is low
That's how far you go
