Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

With a swerve, my eyes avert

 My mouth somehow forgets to work

So I stare until you shout

Wondering why you can't figure me out

Ooh

With a change, I call the names

 I'm spitting out words, hoping it works

Still I stare while they all shout

Why can't I even figure it out?

Ooh

The time I'm wasting

Can't say where I've been

Catching my same old way

Slowly spin beneath the day

Your time I'm wasting

Can't say where we've been

Cause it seems to me that

Nothing's what it's ever meant to be

With my fate, my thoughts erase

 My head's a blur, the picture fades

My eyes, they keep on shutting down

 I can't see why you won't figure me out

Ooh

The time I'm wasting

Can't say where I've been

Catching my same old way

Slowly spin beneath the day

Your time I'm wasting

Can't say where we've been

Cause it seems to me that

Nothing's what it's ever meant to be

(x00230) (x20020) /Bb(x10020) 3x

Ooh...Why can’t you figure me out?

(strum triplets on G6/Bb after “out”)

With a twist

My mind has missed

You said

 That I forget

The time I'm wasting

Can't say where I've been

Catching my same old way

Slowly spin beneath the day

Your time I'm wasting

Can't say where we've been

Cause it seems to me that

Nothing's what it's ever meant to be

 Inst: (x57700)(x47700)

Cause it seems to me that

No one’s ever who they’re meant to be
