VERSE 1
                                       
And you walked out when I asked you to stay
                        
As usual you get your way
                                              
You closed the door and stumbled down to the street
                                                 
Where you wring your hands, and you drag your feet there


PRE-CHORUS 1

           
Where the words can't find you, to crawl inside you



CHORUS

                            
I'm ringing all the warning bells
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                        
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
                   
I'll be the one to tell
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                         
Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes

|  |  C/ | (4x)


VERSE 2
                                        
But you can't hide standing under these stars
                                           
They know everything, they know where you are
                                        
You're in your head, you're all turned around with it
                                                           
And they're shining down their light to bring you back again


PRE-CHORUS 2
           
Back where I can find you, to crawl inside you


CHORUS

                            
I'm ringing all the warning bells
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                        
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
                   
I'll be the one to tell
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                         
Gonna try, try, try till the morning


BRIDGE

                           
All you want to see is make believe
   
It's nothing
                     
But way down underneath


CHORUS

                            
I'm ringing all the warning bells
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                        
Others lie, lie, lie, they adore you
                   
I'll be the one to tell
                           
Careful or you'll hurt yourself
                         
Gonna try, try, try till the morning comes
