Standard (EADGBE)

If I seem distant, Baby I am... Words are like scissors in your hands

 And theres no script to follow, so I just close my eyes

 That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

 I feel just like an actress up on the stage

 I cant believe, what Im hearing myself say

 And the porch light is my spotlight. So I play along with this life

 That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

 Did you ever love me? Does it even matter?

 Did you even notice the whole world shatter?

 I just want to hold you till you know Im sorry

 But I just keep it all inside.

 That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

 My heart feels like a circus... Its too much to take in

 Its hard to lose love, but you were my best friend

 So I walk this high wire... Alone tonight

 That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

 That way it wont hurt so much, when we say goodbye

That's about it. It should be pretty close the original. This was my first one,

that I put out in the open.

I waited four months for someone to do it for me, but guess I just stopped

waiting.

You have to play a bit with your fingers to make it sound like it should, when

playing the first five chords in the verses, but it will come to you since pretty basic stuff.
