Verse: Em, G, D

PreChorus: Em / D Asus2 D

Chorus: C, D, Em, G

Verse 1:

[Em]Like a foggy mirror,

Where re[G]ceptions blurred[D]

And things could stand to be cl[Em]earer.

Sometimes it's hard to l[G]ook you in the e[D]ye.

[Em]If I could be the man on your sho[G]ulder[D]

A God as you grow o[Em]lder.

I'd sleep so much [G]easier to[D]night.

Pre Chorus:

[Em]Close your ey[/]es,[D] they'll tell a st[Asus2]ory,

Of happy [D]endings.

[Em]Close your e[/]yes,[D] re-write the s[Am]tory,

A new beg[D]inning.

Chorus:

[C]It's not what they [D]said, and it's not what we [Em]read

And all the promises they [G]made us,

are all shattered on the ground.

Verse 2:

[Em]Your defense,

you've [G]done no wrong[D]

And live life in innoc[Em]ence,

So how could they have l[G]ooked you in[D] the eye?

[Em]If I could be the man on your [G]shoulder[D]

To Watch you as you grow o[Em]lder.

I'd sleep so much [G]easier t[D]onight.

Pre Chorus:

[Em]Close your ey[/]es,[D] they'll tell a st[Asus2]ory,

Of happy [D]endings.

[Em]Close your e[/]yes,[D] re-write the s[Am]tory,

A new beg[D]inning.

Chorus: (x2)

[C]It's not what they [D]said, and it's not what we [Em]read

And all the promises they [G]made us,

are all shattered on the gr[C]ound.

Bridge:

It's on the gr[D]ound.

And when the cards are [Em]down,

It's safe to say that all bets are off.

It's on the g[C]round.

And when the cards are [D]down,

Well it's time to [Em]play, it's hard to say.

So bet all call.


Chorus: (x2)

[C]It's not what they [D]said, and it's not what we [Em]read

And all the promises they [G]made us,

are all shattered on the gr[C]ound.

Shattered on the ground,[D]

All the cards are down

[Em]Everything they told us

has a[G]lways been so wrong,[C]

So w[D]rong, so w[Em]rong, so w[G]ro[/]ng[Em].
