[F]  [F]  [F]  [Dm-riff] 
[Am] [Am] [G] (Oh.. bit) [G] 
  
[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]

[Chorus] 
That's me in the  [Am] corner [drums back in]
That's me in the  [Em] spotlight
Losing my re [Am] ligion.
Trying to  [Em] keep up with you.

[Am]Try [Am/B]cry [Am/C]why [Am/D]try [Am] 
[F] That was just a dream,  [Dm]
