BmBm Piano Chord 

Never did and never will,
AA Piano Chord 
       F#F# Piano Chord 

That's the way its always been
BmBm Piano Chord 

I've made mistakes before
AA Piano Chord 
   F#F# Piano Chord 

I'll make the same again
BmBm Piano Chord 

And all this tension we ignore
AA Piano Chord 
    F#F# Piano Chord 
       BmBm Piano Chord 

Surely works its ugly way..... inside

Repeat pattern for Verse Two

I have known that nothing's fair
What could I expect
When magic slips into the air
And every day's another test
And all this tension we ignore
Surely works its ugly way.... outside

Chorus:
AA Piano Chord 
                                  BmBm Piano Chord 

So let it build, let it explode
AA Piano Chord 
                                           BmBm Piano Chord 

Leaving blood and shattered bone
AA Piano Chord 
                                             BmBm Piano Chord 

Or bite your tongue til you've forgotten what to say
AA Piano Chord 
                  F#F# Piano Chord 

And take another step back
AA Piano Chord 
                                 BmBm Piano Chord 

Until you find you've walked away

Opening Riff (4 times)

Bm (cut off)
Silence like disease,
F#(upstroke, let ring)
But I dare not say it hurts
Bm(muted)
Cause if I honestly react
A   F#(both muted)
Nothing's ever gonna work
BmBm Piano Chord 

And all this tension back and forth
AA Piano Chord 
    F#F# Piano Chord 
       BmBm Piano Chord 

It's just the beauty of the ride...
AA Piano Chord 
    F#F# Piano Chord 
       BmBm Piano Chord 

It's just the beauty of the ride....

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Opening Riff times 4

That's all folks!
This really isn't a difficult song....just listen to the album for the
timing....
