[Intro]
         

[Verse 1]
   
Oh, Rosie, won

't you visit m

e?
    
I'm in a bad w

ay and I can't

 seem to shake

 it
             
Remember the o

         
ne with eyes l

ike the sun?
    
It turns out I

 was wrong

  
I wish I could

 say it had go

ne my way
       
But instead I'

ve just been w

aiting in vain
            
I keep playing

             
 the record fo

rward and back
         
And it's drivi

ng me mad


[Pre-Chorus]
            
I was a fool t

              
o believe, too

  
 blind to see
            
I'm just a paw

             
n in a game of

  
 catch and rel

ease


[Chorus]
             
Every time he 

              
cut the line I

            
 thought I'd m

             
ake it out ali

ve
            
Till he reeled

              
 me in just to

  
 toss me back
             
And he did it 

        
with a smile


[Break]
    

[Verse 2]
    
Oh, Rose, you 

know just what

 to say
     
It's not like 

me to get this

 bent out of s

hape
             
But I was chas

              
ing a dream do

      
wn a one way s

treet
    
And now it's o

ut of sight

              
I guess some p


eople don't wa

nt the real th

ing
              
You wouldn't r


ecognize it if

 all you've se

en
            
Is a photograp

       
h of a paintin

g
      
On a pixelated

 screen


[Pre-Chorus]
            
I was a fool t

              
o believe, too

 
 blind to see
            
I'm just a paw

             
n in a game of

 
 catch and rel

ease


[Chorus]
             
Every time he 

              
cut the line I

            
 thought I'd m

             
ake it out ali

ve
            
Till he reeled

              
 me in just to

  
 toss me back
             
And he did it 

       
with a smile

           
They said "Hol

d your tongue,

 save some fac

e"
            
Keep the secre

           
ts to yourself
            
But it's a man

              
's world and h

 
e got the last

 word
             
So I had to wr

       
ite it down


[Bridge]
             
There's a less

         
on to be learn

ed in this
           
And that's all

 he gave to me
           
Victory is lea

             
rning how to b

ow-out gracefu

lly
       
Don't hold you

r breath
            
The future's a

             
lways hand in 

         
hand with fate
             
And part of gr

            
owing up is kn

             
owing when to 

          
walk away


[Chorus]
              
Every time you

              
 cut the line 

              
I thought I'd 

            
make it out al

 
ive
            
Till you reele

              
d me in just t

  
o toss me back
             
And you did it

        
 with a smile

      
So I cut my ti

es, but won't 

count the loss
            
The sun was bo

        
und to set
            
Now you get to

 
 be the fool
             
In a game wher

          
e no one wins

             
It's just a ga

              
me where no on

  
e wins
             
It's just a ga

              
me where no on

    
e, game where 

no one
       
No one wins
