[Verse 1] Oh, [Am] life is bigger [Em] It's bigger than you And you are [Am] not me. The lengths that I will [Em] go to, The distance in your [Am] eyes, [Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much, I set it [G] up. (stop)
[Chorus] That's me in the [Am] corner, That's me in the [Em] spotlight Losing my re [Am] ligion. Trying to [Em] keep up with you. And I [Am] don't know if I can do it. [Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much, I haven't said e [G] nough.
[Bridge] I [G] thought that I heard you [F] laughing, I [Dm] thought that I [G] heard you [Am] sing. [Am/B] ..... [Am/C] ..... [Am/D] .... [Am] I [F] think I thought I [Dm] saw [G] you [Am] try. [G] (stop)
[Verse 2] Every [Am] whisper (drums in)of every waking [Em] hour I'm choosing my con [Am] fessions, Trying to [Em] keep an eye on you Like a [Am] hurt lost and blinded fool, fool [Em] Oh no, I've said too [Dm] much, I set it [G] up. (stop)
[Verse 3] Consider [Am] this, consider this, The [Em] hint of a century, Consider [Am] this: the slip That [Em] brought me to my knees failed. [Am] What if all these fantasies Come [Em] flailing around? Now I've [Dm] said too [G] much.
[Bridge] I [G] thought that I heard you l [F] aughing, I [Dm] thought that I [G] heard you [Am] sing. [Am/B] ..... [Am/C] ..... [Am/D] .... [Am] I [F] think I thought I [Dm] saw [G] you [Am] try. [G]
