So be it I'm your crowbar

C

If that's what I am so far

C

Am G

Until you get out of this mess

C

And I will pretend

C

That I don't know of your sins

C

Am

Until you are ready to confess

F

Dm Fm D

But all the time, all the time

C

I'll know, I'll know

And you can use my skin

To bury secrets in
C

Am G

And I will settle you down

C

And at my own suggestion

C

I will ask no questions

While I do my thing in the background

But all the time, all the time

I'll know, I'll know

I'm being patient

And amidst this bitterness

C

If you'll just consider this

Even if it don't make sense

Dm

All the time, give it time

C

And when the crowd becomes your burden

And you've early closed your curtain

Am

I'll wait by the backstage door

C

While you try to find

C

The lines to speak your mind

C

And pry it open hoping for an encore

Dm

And if it gets too late for me to wait

C

For you to find you love me, and tell me so

D F

It's ok, don't need to say it...
