Dm                        Am    C
I believe it’s easy to see why
Dm                                 Am   Bb
We were fools to think we could get by
C Dm                         Am
Where the blame inevitably lies
C Dm                            Am
So low that the down was a new high
     C           Dm
A beautiful disguise

Gm
Here we are stuck in the same place again
          F
wondering what it is we’re doing
                 Gm
Now are we making it harder on ourselves

wondering if there might be something else
         F
Or some way to flip the switch off
Bb               C
Maybe there’s a brighter way up ahead

Dm
You and me getting lost in the weeds
Am
(we can’t go back or fix the past)
C Dm
You and me letting go and letting be
Am               Bb
(addicted to the lie)
C Dm
You and me it should be obvious to see
Am
(we know it’s wrong but we’re too afraid)
C Dm
You and me only knowing what it means
Am
A beautiful disguise

Gm
Maybe we’re just playing out this scene
        F
saying things we don’t believe in
                Gm
And if there’s an empty or open road

that we’re too scared to face alone
         F
Can’t be worse than going nowhere (going nowhere)
Bb              Gm     C
Maybe there’s a brighter way up ahead


(Instrumental Verse)

Dm
You and me only rivers to the sea
Am
We can’t get back the time we lost
C Dm                                  Db6
For you and me the song is always gonna be
               F      C
A beautiful disguise

F                                     C
Every time you ever wondered whether
Bb
we were meant to be untogether
F                                  C
in every rewrite of the open letter
(heart of mine be strong)
Bb
Our hesitation on the word forever
        F
You can say the way is long
(hold on, be on)
                   C
should I follow my heart if I know it’s wrong?
      Bb
I can see it in your eyes

but we can’t deny it was a beautiful disguise (heart of mine be strong)
F
Every time that the night was broken
Am/C
all alone the cold wind blowing
Bb
Every time that the dream was over

every time a door was closed
F
Every time that you lost direction
C
in love with failure and rejection
Bb
Every time that you had enough
but you still came back for more
F       C          Bb
(heart of mine be strong)
