** I supply versions of the same chord in order to give you a more detailed voicing for each section of the
song. You can play it however you want to. Kevin likes to change his chord voicings all the time.

I know you're underneath there/ Waiting on an air supply

To feed your darkest secret/  The one that's keeping us alive

You blame me; I don't blame you/  We've traded places over time
 
Bb(1)(muted)  C(1)(muted)         Dm(1)(muted)
Anger's only fear gone desperate/ That's why I keep an eye on mine

   I never know     where I should be,

   But you tell me answers I just can't believe

33! - I don't feel that old, but/           The calendar can't tell a lie
 
Bb(1)(muted)                              Dm(1)(muted)
Equal measures, sweet & vicious/            The story I make of my life
 
Bb(1)(muted)        C(1)(muted)           Dm(1)(muted)
I plead "Peace!" then build the bomb back/  The second that the treaty's signed

Letting go is an active practice/           I'm working at it all the time

Bb(1) \ A(1)  A7(2)
 
 
Chorus 2:

   You taught me to call    worrying work
 
Bb(2)                 C(2)     C#/C
   But that kind of action's a paralysis curse
 
Dm(3)   C(3)    Dm(3)    A(2)A7(1)
    [no lyrics]
 
Bb(2)            F(2)

Bb(2)                Bb(2)
   You said exactly what you meant
 
Gm                   A(2)
   I never thought     the end was "The End"
 
Bb(2)              C(3)    A(2)              Dm(3)
