[Intro]
Em G C Em Am G B7

[Verse]
Em
How each of us decides
        G
I've never been sure
        C
The part we play
        Em
The way we are
         Am                        G                              F#7
How each of us denies any other way in the world
         Em
Why each of us must choose
        G
I've never understood
C
One special friend
Em
One true love
         Am                            G                           F#7
Why each of us must lose everyone else in the world

[Pre-Chorus]
Am
However unsure
      G
However unwise
C                    Em
Day after day play out our lives
Am
However confused
G                                       F#7
Pretending to know to the end

[Chorus]
       C                      Em
But this isn't truth this isn't right
G                     Em                Am               Em
This isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
               B7
This is a lie

How each of us believes

In heaven unseen and hell unknown

How each of us dreams to understand anything at all
    Em
Why each of us decides

I've never been sure
C
The part we take
   Em
The way we are

Why each of us denies every other way in the world

Day after day play out our lives
Am
However confused

Pretending to know to the end
