Although  she's none the wiser
Although  we've barely met
 I could recognize  her
 From the treatment  that I get
 So it's my duty to advise  her
 If she breaks  the rules
 I've said  I'll quit though I'll  admit
 That hasn't  happened yet
 I  believe she's lying
 I trust her to undermine  my faith  in her in time
 I have every confidence  that she'll  dismantle mine
 Given time
As  sure as she is sitting  here
She's  sure that she's awake
 And soon as were committing
 Were admitting  our mistake
 So of course it's only fitting
 That the course  we're going to take
 Is drawn and whereupon
 I'm slamming  on the breaks
 I  believe she's lying
 I trust her to undermine  my faith  in her in time
 I have every confidence  that she'll  dismantle mine
 Given time
 It's a given
  A7 r1.(or )
 Given time
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
The  power of suggestion
The  element of chance
 And the subject now in question
 Is the same  old song and  dance
 And the time that we invest  in
 Setting traps  out in advance
 So we can spend  the weekend
Staring  in a trance
 I  believe she's lying
 I trust her to undermine  my faith  in her in time
 I have every confidence  that she'll  dismantle mine
 Given time
 It's a given
 Given time
 It's a given
  A7 r1.(or )
 Given time
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
 r1.(or )
 Great song. I recommend playing it with bar chords as
 opposed to open chords. I'm pretty sure that's how Jon played
 it on the album but I'm not totally sure.
