[Intro] B5 C#5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 C#5 D5 E5 D5 C#5 [Verse]
B5C#5D5 Well, it's time for me to live
The good life on the road.
E5F#5E5 And to forgive her
D5C#5D5 For the lies that she sold me.
E5D5C#5B5 We were falling in love and that's what you do.
C#5D5 I didn't know and I feel like a fool
E5F#5 Now watching her go.
E5D5C#5 'Cause I played by the rules
D5E5D5 I guess we were above.
C#5B5C#5Dmaj7 And that's what I get for trying my best
 [Chorus]
F#m To believe in her,
 [ch]F(b5)[/ch] To believe I could turn it around.
F#m [ch]F(b5)[/ch] A To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down.
 [ch]A(b5)[/ch] Dmaj7/A To keep calling her name when we started to drown.
F#m [ch]F(b5)[/ch] You can tell me I should have known better.
F#m You can ask me why
Fdim7 I didn't see it coming
F#m 'Til it got inside me.
 Fdim7 Dmaj7/B You can think it's all wrong,
C#m But you don't know what's going on.
B5 C#5 D5 E5 F#5 E5 D5 C#5 D5 E5 D5 C#5 You don't know what's going on.
 [Verse]
B5C#5D5 So the road led to your door.
E5F#5 The good life ain't the good life anymore
E5D5C#5 If it doesn't include you,
D5E5 If you send me away.
B5C#5Dmaj7 'Cause you don’t believe I tried my best
 [Chorus]
F#m To believe in her,
[ch]F(b5)[/ch] F#m To believe I could turn it around.
[ch]F(b5)[/ch] A To keep bailing out the water while the ship went down.
 [ch]A(b5)[/ch] Dmaj7/A To keep calling her name when we started to drown.
F#m [ch]F(b5)[/ch] You can tell me I should have known better.
F#m You can ask me why
Fdim7 I didn't see it coming
F#m 'Til it got inside me.
 Fdim7 You can think it's all wrong.
Bm I can hope it's all right,
A5 But you don't know what's going on.
 [Bridge] 
G#5F#BmCdimC# I just know that I tried and I tried and I'll try for you
DdimD If you want me to,
Bm E G#aug7 C#7 If you can be the girl who
 [Chorus]
F#m Believes in me.
[ch]F(b5)[/ch] F#m Who believes I can turn it around.
[ch]F(b5)[/ch] A Who keeps bailing out the water while the ship goes down.
 [ch]A(b5)[/ch] Dmaj7/A Who keeps calling my name when we're starting to drown.
F#m [ch]F(b5)[/ch] I'll never tell you should have known better,
F#m Never ask you why
Fdim7 You didn't see it coming
F#m 'Til it got inside you.
Fdim7 It can turn out all right.
Bm Or it can turn out all wrong.
F#m We just don't know what's going on.
Bm I don't know what's going on.
A5 You don't know what's going on.
