Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
G+G   A minorAm        FF
Combat, I'm ready for combat
       G+G    A minorAm        FF
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
    G+G   A minorAm      FF
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
     G+G          A minorAm         FF
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you

Pre-Chorus:
 C majorC
Easy they come, easy they go
  G+G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
  A minorAm
I never grew up, it's getting so old
 FF
Help me hold on to you


Chorus:
       C majorC      G+G     FF
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
        A minorAm
Who could ever leave me, darling
  G+G     FF
But who could stay?


Verse 2:
G+G    A minorAm          FF
Dark side, I search for your dark side
        G+G     A minorAm      FF
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
   G+G   A minorAm        FF
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
         G+G   A minorAm       FF
Then I hate my reflection for years and years


Pre-Chorus:
  C majorC
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
   G+G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
   A minorAm
And all of my heroes die all alone
 FF
Help me hold on to you

Chorus:
       C majorC      G+G     FF
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
             A minorAm
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
  G+G     FF
But who could stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)


Bridge:
    C majorC
'Cause they see right through me
 C majorC
They see right through me
 G+G
They see right through
   G+G
Can you see right through me?
 A minorAm
They see right through
 A minorAm
They see right through me
FF
I see right through me
FF
I see right through me


Pre-Chorus:
 C majorC
All the king's horses, all the king's men
 G+G
Couldn't put me together again
    A minorAm
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
 FF
Help me hold on to you


Chorus:
       C majorC      G+G     FF
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
        A minorAm
Who could ever leave me, darling
  G+G     FF
But who could stay?

(I see right through me, I see right through me)
    C majorC
Who could stay?
G+G     FF
Who could stay?
      A minorAm
Who could stay?
G+G     FF
You could stay
      C majorC     G+G  FF
You could stay...


Outro:
A minorAm     G+G     FF   (G+G)
Combat, I'm ready for combat
