capo up 4 frets

                                                         
There comes a time when you swim or sink so I jumped in the drink
                                   
'Cause I couldn't make myself clear
                                                    
Maybe I wrote in an invisible ink oh I've tried to think
                              
how I could've made it appear

                                 D/               
But another illustration is wasted cuz the results are the same 
                                             D/         
I feel like a ghost who's trying to move your hands over some Ouija board
                              
in the hopes I can spell out my name

                                                           
But some take from magic at first glance is just sleight of hand
                             
depending how much you believe
                                                         
Something gets lost when you translate it's hard to keep straight
                         
perspective is everything

                                          D/            
And I know now which is which and what angle I oughta look at it from
                              D/                 
I suppose I should be happy to be misread better be that than some of the
                    
other things I have become

chorus:                      
But nobody wants to hear this tale
The plot is cliche - the jokes are stale 
                                 
and maybe we've all heard it all before
                       
oh I could get specifis but
nobody needs a catalog
                                     
when details are love I can't sell anymore

                                       D/          
And aside from that this chain of reaction baby is losing a link
                                                    D/ 
Thought I'd hope you'd know that I tried to tell you and if you don't I could 
                               
draw you a picture in invisible ink
