I can understand how when the edges are rough
                        Bb                                    Gm                                                    Bb            Gm

                        Bb                                            Gm                            Bb         Gm  
And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing
                                                                             Eb                    Cm  
And you've retreated to your silent corner
                             Eb                      Cm                                 Bb            Gm  
Like you decided the fight was over for ya

But everyone you know is tryin' smooth it over
Eb                      Bb                                                                    F  
Everyone needs a floor they can fall through
        Eb9                                                            Bb    F                    Eb9
