Intro: 

C  Fm  C  Fm 

C  Am  G  C 



C    Fm     
So be it I'm your crowbar 

C             Fm 
If that's what I am so far 

C          Am   G       C 
Until you get out of this mess 

C          Fm 
And I will pretend 

C                 Fm 
That I don't know of your sins 

C           Am     G      F 
Until you are ready to confess 


F          Dm   Fm  D 
But all the time, all the time 

C       F      C      F 
I'll know, I'll know 

C           Fm 
And you can use my skin 

C       Fm 
To bury secrets in 

C      Am  G          C 
And I will settle you down 

C         Fm 
And at my own suggestion 

C      Fm 
I will ask no questions 

C              A          G     F 
While I do my thing in the background 

F           Dm   Fm  D 
But all the time, all the time 

C        F     C     F 
I'll know, I'll know 


Bridge: 

E   Am  (two measures each chord) 

E                       Am 
Baby -- I can't help you out 

F                 C     
While she's still around 

C    Fm       C   
So for the time being 

C    Fm    C  Am  G  C 
I'm being patient 

C            Fm 
And amidst this bitterness 

C               Fm 
If you'll just consider this 

C         Am      G     F 
Even if it don't make sense 

Dm       Fm      D  
All the time, give it time 

C             Fm          C      
And when the crowd becomes your burden 

     Fm                        C 
And you've early closed your curtain 

      Am          G        C 
I'll wait by the backstage door 

C         Fm  
While you try to find 

C        Fm 
The lines to speak your mind 

C                 Am    G      F 
And pry it open hoping for an encore 

          Dm           Fm     D   
And if it gets too late for me to wait 

C                    E            C   
For you to find you love me, and tell me so 

Am    D   F            G    
It's ok, don't need to say it...
