[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C][G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[C]The
[G]gleam in your eye[C],
it [G]begged me to try
[C]But it warned me [G]I'd nev[Em]er succeed
[D]And from the way[G] that you sto[C]od,
[G]I understood t[C]hat you
knew [D]no better than [G]me.
So tell me [D]why, tell me why,
all these [C]little supplies
[G]and del[Em]icate thr[G]eads of disgui[D]se.
When the [C]games that [D]we play,
they're so [G]carefully [C]staged,
[G]why do we [D]still roll the [G]dice?
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
I'm [G]half way to sleep,
[C]you ask[G]ed what I nee[C]d,
I [G]answered in [Em]tongues and in [D]breath,
Because [G]the thoughts that I [C]speak
are like [G]tracks down the [C]beach
They're just [G]true till the [D]ocean expels
[G]So tell me why[D], tell me why
All these [C]riddles and [G]lies
In [Em]delicate [G]threads of disguise
[D]When the wor[C]ds on my tongue
[D]They're not[G] the same ones
[C]I spe[G]ak to mys[D]elf late at nig[G]ht
[C][G][C][G][C][G][C]
It's [G]things I can [C]say when
[G]you're inches [C]away,
when your [G]vision's still [Em]blurry and close.
[D]Cau[G]se our stories are fla[C]mes
of [G]beeswax and [C]shame
As [G]real and transpar[D]ent as [G]smoke
So tell me [D]why, tell me why
All these [C]riddles and [G]lies
And [Em]delicate [G]threads of disguise
[D]When we're all[C] just the sam[D]e
It's a slightly [G]organized rain
[C]But why[G] do we sti[D]ll choose to hid[G]e?
When we're [C]all just the [D]same
It's a slightly [G]organized rain
[C]But why[G] do we sti[D]ll choose to hid[G]e?
Yes, why do we [D]still choose to [G]hide?
you
