G                                      C         D
I couldn't feel any more trapped than already I do
G                                        C         D
Stuck inside, stuck inside this state of mind with you
                  Am                   D
And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
                Am                             D
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend

CHORUS
           G
I know I'm bound to this fixation for as long as I stay here
            C (or Cadd9 )
Sometimes I wish I could just leave
                  D
So you could come running after me
         G
And the perfect world we're after always seems to disappear
                     C (or Cadd9 )
I wish that we could find a way
                   D
To make it out of here

G                 
Can we forget that we are bound by all these 
C (or Cadd9 )
ropes and strings
                    D
That tie us up like this
G
And when we wake up we can go back to the world that 
C (or Cadd9)
only wants us
         D
To be friends
                Am                              D
And I hope that when I sing you're looking up at me
                  Am                                      D
So you can see my eyes are filled with hope for what could be

CHORUS

                         Am                                D
But that would mean that all we've done would simply go to waste
                Am                                  D
I'm trying to convince myself we're better off this way
                  Am                    D
Because you only smile like I'm your friend
                      Am
I wish someone would shake this out of me
              D
Or shake it into you

CHORUS (Without picking patter - just one strum)
                  Am                  D
And yet you only smile like I'm your friend
                Am                             D     D     D
For now my happiness depends on how well I pretend
