C  Am  G  C
[Strophe]
C    Fm 
So be it I'm your crowbar 
C             Fm 
If that's what I am so far 
C          Am   G       C 
Until you get out of this mess 
C          Fm 
And I will pretend 
C                 Fm 
That I don't know of your sins 
C           Am     Gm      F 
Until you are ready to confess
[Refrain]
F          Dm   F7  D7 
But all the time, all the time 
C       F      C      F 
I'll know, I'll know 
C           Fm 
And you can use my skin 
C       Fm 
To bury secrets in 
C      Am  G          C 
And I will settle you down 
C         Fm 
And at my own suggestion 
C      Fm 
I will ask no questions 
C              Am          Gm     F 
While I do my thing in the background 
F           Dm   F7  D7 
But all the time, all the time 
C        F7     C     F7 
I'll know, I'll know
[Pont]
E   Am 
  
E                       Am 
Baby -- I can't help you out 
F7                 C7 
While she's still around 
C    Fm       C 
So for the time being 
C    Fm    C  Am  G  C 
I'm being patient 
C            Fm 
And amidst this bitterness 
C               Fm 
If you'll just consider this 
C         Am      Gm     Fmaj7 
Even if it don't make sense 
Dm       F7      D7 
All the time, give it time 
C             Fm          C 
And when the crowd becomes your burden 
     Fm                        C 
And you've early closed your curtain 
      Am          G        C 
I'll wait by the backstage door 
C         Fm 
While you try to find 
C        Fm 
The lines to speak your mind 
C                 Am    Gm      F 
And pry it open hoping for an encore 
          Dm           F7     D7 
And if it gets too late for me to wait 
C                    Em            C 
For you to find you love me, and tell me so 
Am    D   F7            G 
It's ok, don't need to say it...
