[Verse 1]
C              Em      Dm        Em      C
I’m trying too hard to pretend,  lately
C                 Em          Dm      Em     C
Quit changing the rules that I bend,  daily
C               Em          Dm      Em       C
I’m wasting the time that I spend,  chasing
C              Em         Dm     C        F
The you that I hold in my head,  escaping


[Chorus]
C            G          C
you under my skin, I’m sinking
F       C              G          C        F
Getting stoned with my friends, I think of you
F        C     G               Am      F           C      G
Even the Midas touch, is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end,

Baby.

[Verse 2]
C                Em          Dm         Em      C
The soles of the shoes on my feet,  are faded
C              Em       Dm         Em        C
And all of the people I meet,  are waiting
C           Em         Dm          Em     C
For letters I’ll never complete,  saying
C                Em          Dm           C      F
The world that I built in my dreams,   is caving in


[Chorus]
C            G          C
you under my skin, I’m sinking
F       C              G          C        F
Getting stoned with my friends, I think of you
F        C     G               Am      F           C      G
Even the Midas touch, is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end,

Baby.

C         Em           Dm          G        C
Why’d you fuck with my heart, it's plain to see,
C                   Dm                   G     C
I was holding on to more than this, could ever be
Em              Dm            G
I read it but I don’t believe it
C     Em            Dm                 G   F  Em   G
And I said it but I don’t regret it at all

C  Em  Dm C
C  Em  Dm C


[Chorus]
C            G          C
you under my skin, I’m sinking
F       C              G          C        F
Getting stoned with my friends, I think of you
F        C     G               Am      F           C      G
Even the Midas touch, is gonna turn to rust in the bitter end,
