[VERSE 1]
G      Am
   Oh, life is bigger
Em
   It's bigger than you
            Am
And you are not me.
                        Em
The lengths that I will go to,
                     Am
The distance in your eyes,
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
         G
I set it up.

Chorus:
                 Am
That's me in the corner,
                 Em
That's me in the spotlight
            Am
Losing my religion.
          Em
Trying to keep up with you.
      Am
And I don't know if I can do it.
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
                G
I haven't said enough.

Bridge:   G                        F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
  Dm             G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I thought that I heard you sing.
Am F                 F   Dm G   Am
I  think I thought I saw    you try.

Verse:
G        Am                      Em
   Every Whisper of every waking hour
                   Am
I'm choosing my confessions,
          Em
Trying to keep an eye of you
       Am
Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool
Em                      Dm
   Oh no, I've said too much,
         G
I set it up.

Verse 3:
         Am
Consider this, consider this,
    Em
The hint of a century,
         Am
Consider this- the slip
     Em
That brought me to my knees failed.
Am
What if all these fantasies
     Em
Come    flailing around?
         Dm       G
Now I've said too much.

Bridge;   G                        F
I thought that I heard you laughing,
  Dm             G         Am   Am/B   Am/C   Am/D
I thought that I heard you sing.
Am F                 F   Dm G   Am    G
I  think I thought I saw    you try.
