Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
 Bb majorBb
I too used to want him to be proud of me
   G minorGm
And then I just wanted him to make amends
  BbmBbm
I wonder what lies he's telling you about me
   AbAb
To make sure that we'll never be friends
   Bb majorBb
And it's a shame because you and I didn't get a witness
  AbAb
We're the only ones who know
   BbmBbm
We were cursed the moment that he kissed us
  AbAb
From then on, it was his big show

  BbmBbm
I grew concerned when I saw him start to covet you
  AbAb
When I learned what he did
I felt close to you
  BbmBbm
In my own way
I fell in love with you
  AbAb
But he's made me a ghost to you
  BbmBbm
I watch him let go of your hand
I wanna stand between you
  AbAb
But it's not what I'm supposed to do
  BbmBbm
I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you
  AbAb
And it makes me feel close to you
   AbAb
It makes me feel close to you

It makes me feel close to you

It's not what it's supposed to do
   AbAb
It makes me feel close to you

Chorus:
   DbDb             C minorCm
And you're wearing time like a flowery crown
     F minorFm          BbmBbm
Sitting that, sitting that big cat down
  DbDb         C minorCm
And I'm alone on the summit now
   F minorFm        BbmBbm
Trying not to let my light go out
