per chord, because they change to bar chords on the A string or E string):
I wake up cold and sweaty
Is it morning already?
I hate the sun for setting on yesterday
When I wrote my feelings
On the walls and ceilings
Like drugs I'm dealing
And you just walked away
And the trees all sway and swing
The wind and I are both singing...
I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
So let me just say for the record
That you can spare me the lecture
'Cause ever since I met you I've been lonely
Your smile don't hide you
I see the teeth that you lie through
Do I need to remind you that I'm on-ly...
Hanging by a string
And I close my eyes and spin... singing...
I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
Bridge/solo:
And I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
And all those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
And I was giving you everything I had to give
Wasn't it enough?
All those promising promises were on your lips
But you wouldn't give them up
