Chords submitted by Joe Crapa available through webmaster@duncansheik.com

A                   F#m     
For all the good you say it does
Bm          A                 G
It feels no better when you’ve had your say
A                   F#m
You may believe it’s just because
Bm            A                 G
The words get colder when you’ve gone away
F#
I thought I understood
              G
What I was to you...
D
I don’t want to feel this way
A                              C9
I don’t want to say I’m just a friend
I don’t want to wait around here
Bm                                  F#
‘Cos you don’t want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it...
                        G
As we become shadows of ourselves
A            F#m
Some may fear committed lives
Bm        A                G
I sure am one of them without you 
A                      F#m
Does it come to you as some surprise
Bm         A                 G
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you
F#
Was it ever girl
                    G
Something you could hold...
D
I don’t want to feel this way
A                              C9
I don’t want to say I’m just a friend
I don’t want to wait around here
Bm                                  F#
‘Cos you don’t want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it...
                        G
As we become shadows of ourselves
D
I don’t want to look away
A                          C9
I don’t want to be the one denied
It ain’t no fault of mine
Bm                             F#
If someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don’t talk about it
                          G
We just become shadows of ourselves
