A|---6-6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6------------------------------------------------|
E|---4-4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4------------------------------------------------|
It does that whole thing twice, then hits the [Pre-chorus] part:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|----------------------6-6-6-----------------------------6-6-6------------|
D|---9-9-9-9--11-9------6-6-6--6-6-6---9-9-9-9--11-9------6-6-6--6-6-6-----|

G|---9-9--9-9-9-11-11111111-13-13-13-13-13-13-13--13-13-13-----------------|

E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
Then it gets to the [Chorus], which goes:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
G|---6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6---------------------------------9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9-9---|

E|-------------------2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4-----------------------|
Then back to the [Intro]
e|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------|
B|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------|
G|---5--5-5-5--5-5-5--5-5--------------------------------------------------|
D|---6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6--------------------------------------------------|
A|---6--6-6-6--6-6-6--6-6--------------------------------------------------|
E|---4--4-4-4--4-4-4--4-4--------------------------------------------------|
The lead part is mostly the same, but changes a little. Use the same chords as you did
in the intro to play behind this part:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---7-9-7-9-7-------7h9-7------------7------------------------------------|
G|-------------8-8---------8\6-4--6/8---6--8-9-8-6-5-6/8-------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|----------/9-7-----------------------------------------------------------|
G|---/9-8--------/6-4---/8-6--6\5~\----------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After this part is played, it goes into a [Verse], the same as the first, and continues on
the same path as it did during the first part of the song. After the {Chorus], it goes
back to the second part of the [Pre-chorus] and then does the [Chorus] again, repeating that
twice. Then it goes to this little [Interlude] part:
e|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
B|---9-9-9-7-5--7-7-7-5-4----9-9-9-7-5--7-7-7-5-4--------------------------|
G|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------|
After this, it goes back to the [Chorus] part and the song ends.

I sat by the ocean and drank a potion baby to erase you
Face down in the Boulevard, yet I couldn’t face you
There ain’t no use in crying It doesn’t change anything,
so baby what good does it do?
Your friends they all said that that’s, maybe, I don’t need them too.

Verse II (same as verse I)
There’s nowhere to run away.
Said, “boy if you want love, you’ll have to go & find it with someone new.”
“do you know who you really are? are you sure it’s really you?”
Lies are a funny thing.
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
Time wounds all the heals. Then we fade out of view.
repeat Chorus
I said that I’d be your one and only
instead of a rolling one
You. Me. and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.
You. Me. and a lie.
Silence is closer.
We’re passing ships in the night.

Said, boy if you want love, you`ll have to go & find it with someone new.
Do you know who you really are? Are you sure it`s really you?
Lies are a funny thing.
They slip through your fingertips because they never happened to you.
Time wounds all the heals. As we fade out of view.
