 Song is in 3/4 timing. Listen to the CD for strumming patterns.
 The air that you breathe  it must be poison
 And you're dressed up in your  best disguise
 I don't want  to hear what you  have to say
 It's there in  your eyes when you  look away
 These beautiful  words are turning into  lies
How  can you say  that to me
 The light that still shines  is just an illusion
 Just a memory from  a burned out star
 Its promise  has come from so  far away
 It's fighting  through sadness and years  of decay
Oh  and  it's a wonder it ever  made  it this far
 Well now how  can you say  that  to me
 After all  of those secrets  you let  me believe
 There's no rose  petal air,  there's just thorns  when I breathe
 Well now how  can you say  that
 It's not this silence  that screams in my mind
 Each day I feel  like I'm falling behind
 Living in shadows,  still getting burned
 When will I ever  learn
 Well now how  can you say  that  to me
 After all  of those secrets  you let  me believe
 There's no rose  petal air,  there's just thorns  when I breathe
 Well now how  can you say  that to me

[Dsus2] [B]   [Dsus2] [F#]   [G]   [A]

[Am]  The air that you [G]breathe it must be [D]poison
[Bm7]  And you're dressed up in [A]your best dis[G]guise

I [Dsus2]don't [F#]want to hear what y[G]ou have to say
It's [Dsus2]there [F#]in your eyes when y[G]ou look away
These [Dsus2]beauti[F#]ful words are tu[G]rning [E/G#]into l[A]ies

[Em]How can you [G]say that to [D]me

[Am]  The light that still [G]shines is just an il[D]lusion
[Bm7]  Just a memory [A]from a burned out [G]star

Its [Dsus2]promis[F#]e has come from [G]so far away
It's [Dsus2]fighti[F#]ng through sadness and y[G]ears of decay
[Dsus2]Oh and[F#] it's a wonder it e[G]ver m[E/G#]ade it this [A]far

Well now [Em]how can you [Dsus2]say th[F#]at to [G]me      [A]
After [Em]all of those [Dsus2]secret[F#]s you [G]let me be[A]lieve
There's no [Am]rose petal [G]air, there's just [Gm]thorns when I [Dsus2]breath[F#]e
Well now [Em]how can you [G]say that

[Bm7]  It's not this s[F#m7]ilence that screams in my mind[G]
Each day I [A]feel like I'm falling be[Bm7]hind
Living in [F#m7]shadows, still getting bur[G]ned
When will I [Gm]ever learn

Well now [Em]how can you [Dsus2]say th[F#]at to [G]me      [A]
After [Em]all of those [Dsus2]secret[F#]s you [G]let me be[A]lieve
There's no [Am]rose petal [G]air, there's just [Gm]thorns when I [Dsus2]breath[F#]e
Well now [Em]how can you [G]say that to [D]me

[Dsus2] [B]   [Dsus2] [F#]   [G]   [A]
