Lyrics

[Intro]
| C/G | - | Em | - |
| Am  | - | G  | - |

[Verse 1]
C/G                       Em
   I could've sworn I saw fireworks
         Am          G
From your  house last night
C/G                        Em
   As the lights flickered and they failed
         Am         G
I had it all figured out

[Chorus]
         C/G          Em    Am
Why do I do this to myself every time?
           G             C/G              Em
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
         Am              G          C/G
I am the only one at the finish line

[Verse 2]
                         Em
I took a trip out to the frozen lake
            Am      G
And you felt  so far away
C/G                            Em
   But I could feel it washing over me
             Am                       G
There's no escaping the harsh light of day

[Chorus]
         C/G          Em    Am
Why do I do this to myself every time?
           G             C/G              Em
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
         Am              G          C/G
I am the only one at the finish line

[Post-Chorus]
          Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          G       C/G
Ooh, ooh, ooh. ooh

[Bridge]
Em                                F/C
  Stood out on that beach in Chicago
                   Am                F/C
Woke up next to you  on Silver Lake Avenue
    Em              F/C
Wherever I went I always knew,
always knew
              G
'Til I didn't know

[Chorus]
         C/G          Em    Am
Why do I do this to myself every time?
           G             C/G              Em
I know the way it ends before it's even begun
         Am              G
I am the only one at the finish line

[Outro]
C/G
          Em
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          Am
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
          G
Ooh, ooh, ooh. ooh
C/G                       Em
   I could've sworn I saw fireworks
         Am          G
From your  house last night
                  C/G
Ooh, ooh, ooh. ooh
