INTRO: E
E B
One day your face will fade
A C#m
And your heart will see new things
E B
Someday there'll be no parade
A C#m
And you'll see what life can bring
E B
You made me wait for you
A C#m
While your brilliant mind was seething
E B
I guess you didn't know that you were
A C#m
The only thing that kept me breathing
E B
I said the things I said
A C#m
Not because I meant to harm you
E B
Now you know that I'm nearly dead
A C#m
I'll just bet that it kinda warms you
CHORUS:
B A
You left me out on the edge of the world
B A
You played your cards and your power as the girl
B A
You watched with pride as your flag unfurled
C#m B E
And you watched me fall from the edge of the world
E B
Revenge is so sweet they say
A C#m
But they don't tell you that it eats you
E B
Your crowd is gathered 'round today
A C#m
But someday they're the ones who'll beat you
E B
I know that I'm wrong about
A C#m
What came out of me last time we talked
E B
But do you have to shout it out
A C#m
That you think that I would really walk
CHORUS
E B
You said I could never be too intense
A C#m
It only proved that I really loved you
E B
You said that it all made sense
A C#m
That I would put no one above you
E B
And now we're just one slip on my part
A B
You've used that to damn me
E B
If you felt the desperation in my heart
A C#m
Then maybe you wouldn't slam me
CHORUS
E B
I pray you never lose your face
A C#m
I hope it stays brand new
E B
'Cause in this world it's the place
A C#m
Where everybody seems to love you
E B
Where I live it doesn't mean a thing
A C#m
I'll be there in forever
E B
If you ever hear my heart sing
A C#m
You'll know we're together
