INTRO: C C/B Em G

Verse:

C             C/B             Em              G
a sign of the times when your eyes glaze over
C               C/B                E      G
they talk in circles never say our names
C                       C/B       E                    G
it’s just like striking a match in a pitch black room, yeah
C                       C/B          E                  G
it’s been there forever, just an old trick with a new face

Chorus:

C          G              D
i’ve got nothing left to prove
    Em                       D
no, i’m too tired to be the nice guy
C               G                   D
they don’t know me, they don’t know you
               Em                 D
say we’re too small to have a big life
C                    D
they just keep climbing to the bright lights

Verse 2:

C             C/B             Em              G
i sneak through the door, you’re already dreaming
how did i ever sleep without you there
they gave me the facts but none of the feeling
i toss and i turn like white ash in the air

Chorus:

C          G              D
i’ve got nothing left to prove
    Em                       D
no, i’m too tired to be the nice guy
they don’t know me, they don’t know you
say we’re too small to have a big life
C                    D
they just keep climbing to the bright lights
