[Intro]
F#m A Asus2 A
E A C#m C#m
E A C#m C#m
[Verse 1]
E A C#m
Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
E A C#m
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
E A C#m
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth
E A C#m
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
[Pre-Chorus]
E A C#m A E A C#m A
But if I move my place in line I'll lose.
E A C#m A E A C#m
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.
[Chorus]
B Bsus2
I am waiting for something to go wrong.
B
I am waiting for familiar resolve.
[Interlude]
E A C#m C#m
E A C#m
[Verse 2]
E A C#m
Sometimes it seems that I don't have the skills to recollect
E A C#m
The twists and turns of plots that took us from lovers to friends
E A C#m
I'm thinking I should take that volume back up off the shelf
E A C#m
And crack it's weary spine and read to help remind myself
[Pre-Chorus]
E A C#m A E A C#m A
But if I move my place in line I'll lose.
E A C#m A E A C#m A
And I have waited, the anticipation's got me glued.
[Chorus]
B Bsus2
I am waiting for something to wrong
B A
I am waiting for familiar resolve
C#m C#sus4
I am waiting for another repeat
B
Another diet fed by crippling defeat
B
And I am waiting for that sense of relief
B
I am waiting for you to flee the scene
C#m
As if you held in your hand the smoking gun
B
And on the floor lay the one you said you loved.
[Bridge]
B E A E B E A B E
E
And it's strange
F#m
They are basically the same
A E
So I don't ask names anymore.
[Verse 3]
E A C#m
Sometimes I think this cycle never ends
E A C#m
We slide from top to bottom and we turn and climb again
E A C#m
And it seems by the time that I have figured what it's worth
E A C#m E A C#m
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
[Outro]
E A C#m E A C#m
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
E A C#m
The squeaking of our skin against the steel has gotten worse.
E A C#m C#m E A C#m C#m
