Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
FF     C majorC      A minorAm            G+G
Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me
FF    C majorC     A minorAm       G+G
 Misery, like the war of words I shouted in my sleep
FF    C majorC
 And you passed right by
A minorAm           G+G
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides
FF     C majorC
 The knife cuts both ways
    A minorAm           G+G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break

Chorus:
FF          C majorC
 And I fell from the pedestal
        A minorAm
Right down the rabbit hole
      G+G
Long story short, it was a bad time
FF        C majorC
 Pushed from the precipices
       A minorAm
Clung to the nearest lips
      G+G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
FF    C majorC
 Now I'm all about you
A minorAm  G+G
 I'm all about you, ah
C majorC   FF      G+G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C majorC
I'm all about you, ah
   FF      E minorEm C majorC
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Verse 2:
FF    C majorC     A minorAm        G+G
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view
FF      C majorC    A minorAm        G+G
 Missing me, at the golden gates they once held the keys to
FF    C majorC
 When I dropped my sword
 A minorAm             G+G
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door
FF    C majorC
 And we live in peace
    A minorAm          G/BG/B
But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready

Chorus:
FF            C majorC
 'Cause I fell from the pedestal
        A minorAm
Right down the rabbit hole
      G+G
Long story short, it was a bad time
FF        C majorC
 Pushed from the precipices
       A minorAm
Clung to the nearest lips
      G+G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy
FF    C majorC
 Now I'm all about you
A minorAm  G+G
 I'm all about you, ah
C majorC   FF      G+G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C majorC
I'm all about you

Bridge:
A minorAm G/BG/B     DmDm
 No more keepin' score
      A minorAm
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
  G/BG/B     DmDm
No more tug of war
      FF         A minorAm
Now I just know there's more (Know there's more)
  G/BG/B     DmDm
No more keepin' score
      A minorAm
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)
A minorAm   E minorEm       FF
 And my waves meet your shore
     G+G
Ever and evermore

Verse 3:
FF    C majorC    A minorAm         G+G
 Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things
FF      C majorC    A minorAm        G+G
 Your nemeses, will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing
FF     C majorC
 And he's passing by
A minorAm            G+G
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
FF    C majorC
 And he feels like home
    A minorAm          G+G
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go

Chorus:
C majorC          FF
 And I fell from the pedestal
        G+G
Right down the rabbit hole
      C majorC
Long story short, it was a bad time
        FF
Pushed from the precipice
          E minorEm
Climbed right back up the cliff
      C majorC
Long story short, I survived
    FF       G+G
Now I'm all about you, ah
  C majorC
I'm all about you, ah
  FF       E minorEm
I'm all about you, ah
  C majorC
I'm all about you, ah
   FF      E minorEm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C majorC
I'm all about you
   FF      G+G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
  C majorC
I'm all about you

Outro:
FF C majorC
A minorAm     G+G         FF  C majorC
 Long story short, it was a bad time
A minorAm     G+G      N.C.
 Long story short, I survived
