[Intro]

D

[Verse 1]


D/A    D/Ab D/A D/B D/A        E            E/F   F#

you'll take advantage 'til you think you're being used

D/A     D/Ab D/A D/B D/A    E       E/F    F#

cause without an enemy your anger gets confused

[Chorus 1]

Bm                          F             F#    D

i got stuck on the side you know, i never chose

         D   D/C   D/B        D/A      E           F#   D

but it's all about taking the easy way out for you    i suppose


[Verse 2]

D/A    D/Ab D/A D/B D/A      E      E/F     F#

there's no escape for you except in someone else

D/A D/Ab D/A    D/B D/A      E      E/F        F#

although you've already disappeared within yourself

[Chorus 2]

Bm                      F               F#    D

the invisible man who's always changing clothes

     D   D/C   D/B        D/A      E           F#   D

it's all about taking the easy way out for you    i suppose


[Bridge]

Bm                    F      Em

well i don't want you making mistakes

           Bm     F      Em

i wish you luck i really do

Bm/F    Bm*     Bm/F     Bm*

but the problem with the puzzle

                   E  F# D

whatever's left to y--o--u


[Verse 3]

D/A D/Ab D/A D/B  D/A     E   E/F     F#

i heard you found another audience to bore

D/A D/Ab D/A D/B   D/A E        E/F      F#

a creative thinker who imagined you were more

[Chorus 3]

Bm                    F               F# D

a new body for you to push around and pose

     D   D/C   D/B        D/A      E           F#   D

it's all about taking the easy way out for you    i suppose

     D   D/C   D/B        D/A      E           F#   D

it's all about taking the easy way out for you    i suppose
