C                  F         C                          G 
 I don't spend too many days Thinking about my reckless ways 
Am                             F                               C    F 
Broken hearts, rhymes of death Trouble I've brought, pain I've left 
C                    F           C 
 All the changes I try to make Like drowning bubbles in a giant wake 
Am                Dm   Am            F                       C 
Coughed from the sea on to dry land  Brought to life somehow again 
 F               G       C         F                   G      Am 
Hide your tears out in plain sight Hide your tears to catch the light 
 F              G          Am       F                 G         C 
Show your tears to all your friends Then go and hide your tears again

Heard her cries thriugh bedroom doors Crashing dreams off distant shores 
       Am                               F                C      F C F 
Said everything I shouldn't say  Would different matter anyway 
C                         F     C                  F         Am 
The stories I could never tell Of lives and wives and city bells 
                          Dm       Am          F                           C 
They're all wrapped in my arms so dear Though nothing I have can hold them here 
F                                   F                   G      Am 
Hide your tears out in plain sight  Hide your tears to catch the light

Show your tears to all your friends  Then go and hide your tears again

C    F   C 
I still fall for it every time Take the cure on my own dime 
Am                   Dm         F                          C  F 
Get up, get knocked down again I ask for five you give me ten 
C                                        C                F 
I broke into the house of love A dimming light my shadow held 
       Am             Dm       Am  F                         C 
'Til shadows held no light to see With all of it surrounding me 
 F               G      C            F                  G    Am 
Hide your tears out in plain sight  Hide your tears to catch the light 
F              G          Am       F                 G         C 
Show your tears to all your friends Then go and hide your tears again 
C                  F         C                          G 
 I don't spend too many days Thinking about my reckless ways 
   Am             Dm      Am         F              C 
Aman tries to outrun his death Or a broken heart runs out of breath
