G             Dsus4/F#  Em         Cadd9

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

           G                   Dsus4/F#
Out of the doubt that fills my mind

  Em           Cadd9        G    Dsus4/F#  Em  Cadd9 
I somehow find you and I collide



VERSE3:

Play as for previous verses.

I'm quiet, you know. You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind


CHORUS2:

Play as for previous verses.

Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the stars refuse to shine
Out of the doubt you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide... [goes straight into BRIDGE]
