 Everything's laughter, always the same

 Empty and restless, the fact remains

 Careless expressions, they're cold and vague  
C           Em            D            C  G 
 Stealing truth from the words you say 
C             G    C             G 
 I cowardly reason  while life escapes 
C            Em        D           C  G 
 Scared of running, afraid to stay 

Em        G               Am    C 
 I just need a little time, surrender 
Em       G                 C         D 
 I wont be your concubine, not for anyone
