So I play along with this life G Em A Bm A Bm That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye G D Did you ever love me? Does it even matter? Em D Did you even notice the whole world shatter? G D I just want to hold you till you know Im sorry Em Bm C#/A But I just keep it all inside. G Em A D That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye G D My heart feels like a circus...
