Verse 1:
F#              C#/F
I’ll start this broken heart
     Ebm
I’ll fix it up so 
C#            B
it will work again
F#/Bb         G#m
Better than before
F#                  C#/F
Then I’ll star in a mystery
  Ebm            C#
A tragic tale of all 
              B
that’s yet to come
Fingers crossed
      C#
there will be love
 
 
Chorus 1:
But I get carried
 B              F#
away with every day
          C#
And every fantasy
               B
the deeper the wound
             F#
the harder i swoon 
         C#
and wish that was me
           Ebm
So much to say
                   C#
But no words to convey
               B
The loneliness building
                  F#
with each passing day
                E
But I’m getting used to 
                   B
it you have to get used to it
 
 
Interlude: F#-C#/F-Ebm-C#-B-F#/Bb-C#--
 
 
Verse 2:
F#              C#/F
I’ll devise the best disguise
  Ebm
A brand new look and 
C#              B
take them by surprise
        F#/Bb
They’ll never guess 
       C#
what’s not inside
F#             C#/F
I’ll express myself with ease
     Ebm
With confidence and 
C#           B
character complete
     F#/Bb
With fingers crossed 
        C#
they’ll talk to me
 
 
Chorus 2:
But I get carried
 B              F#
away with every page
         C#
In every magazine
                B
The cheaper the thrill
             F#
the deeper I fill my 
          C#
head with blasphemy
           Ebm
So much to say
                   C#
But No words to convey
               B
The loneliness building 
                  F#
with each passing day
                E
But I’m getting used to it
                B
you have to get used to it
 
 
Guitar solo: E--F#-- x4
 
 
Verse 3:
F#
I’ll destroy this 
C#/F
useless heart
     Ebm
I’ll fuck it up so 
      C#          B
it’ll never beat again
    F#/Bb                  C#
Not just for me but for anyone
 
 
Chorus 3:
                   B
But I get carried away
           F#
with every phrase 
            C#
and made up melody
             B
The longer I hide 
             F#
behind these lies
              C#
The more I disintegrate
           Ebm
So much to say
                   C#
But no words to convey
               B
The loneliness building 
                  F#
with each passing day
                E
But I never get used to it
                 F#(hold)
you just have to live with it

Lyrics:
I’ll start this broken heart
I’ll fix it up so it will work again
Better than before
Then I’ll star in a mystery
A tragic tale of all that’s yet to come
Fingers crossed there will be love
 
But I get carried away with every day
And every fantasy
the deeper the wound,
the harder i swoon and wish that that was me
 
So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I’m getting used to it, you have to get used to it
 
I’ll devise the best disguise
A brand new look and take them by surprise
They’ll never guess what’s not inside
I’ll express myself with ease,
With confidence and character complete
With fingers crossed they’ll talk to me
 
But I get carried away with every page
In every magazine
The cheaper the thrill
the deeper I fill my head with blasphemy
 
So much to say
But No words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I’m getting used to it, you have to get used to it
 
I’ll destroy this useless heart
I’ll fuck it up so it’ll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone
 
But I get carried away
with every phrase and made up melody
The longer I hide behind these lies,
The more I disintegrate
 
So much to say
But no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I never get used to it, you just have to live with it

I'll start this broken heart
I'll fix it up so it will work again
Better than before

Then I'll star in a mystery
A tragic tale of all that's yet to come
Fingers crossed there will be love

But I get carried away with every day
And every fantasy
The deeper the wound
The harder I swoon and wish that that was me

So much to say, but no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I'm getting used to it
You have to get used to it

I'll devise the best disguise
A brand new look and take them by surprise
They'll never guess what's not inside

I'll express myself with ease
With confidence and character complete
With fingers crossed they'll talk to me

But I get carried away with every page
In every magazine
The cheaper the thrill
The deeper I fill my head with blasphemy

So much to say, but no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
But I'm getting used to it
You have to get used to it

I'll destroy this useless heart
I'll fuck it up so it'll never beat again
Not just for me but for anyone

But I get carried away
With every phrase and made up malady
The longer I hide behind these lies
The more I disintegrate

So much to say, but no words to convey
The loneliness building with each passing day
You never get used to it
You just have to live with it
