Runner Up chords by Ben Ellis

♫ Verse 1:
                                B
You asked me to drive you to a psychic
          B
And you seemed pretty scared in the car
                           B
But I told you you should try it
                          B
I don't even believe in psychics

♫ Verse 2:
             B
Every hero needs a sidekick
          B
And I'm happy just playing the part
                            B
But you keep sticking the knife in
                B
Every time you bring him up, it's like I'm not enough

♫ Pre-Chorus:
           B             C        Gm
Yeah, you keep me close till you cut me off
        C    B            B     C
'Cause you found someone just like me
     B              C        Gm
And I'm still stuck on the thought of us
C          B              C     N.C.
'Cause we never got the timing

♫ Chorus:
B                 B
Someone's always got a head start
Gm              C
I just sit and watch from second
B            B
I'm driving with the lights off
Gm            C
It hurts but I'll never say it
B        B
Almost enough
Gm         C
So close, but so far
B                Cm
If I can't hold you in my arms
Gm    C   N.C.
Then I'll be a runner up

♫ Verse 3:
                            B
Now it's become a vicious cycle
          B
You come over at midnight and ask me to put out
      B
The fires you start when they break your heart
     C   N.C.
And I've been the answer from the start

♫ Pre-Chorus:
           B             C        Gm
Yeah, you keep me close till you cut me off
C            B            B    C
'Cause you found someone just like me
    B               C        Gm
And I'm still stuck on the thought of us
C   B           B    C
But I don't really mind it

♫ Chorus:
B                 B
Someone's always got a head start
Gm              C
I just sit and watch from second
B            B
I'm driving with the lights off
Gm            C
It hurts but I'll never say it
B        B
Almost enough
Gm         C
So close, but so far
B                Cm
If I can't hold you in my arms
Gm    N.C.
Then I'll be a runner up

♫ Outro:

B B Gm
      C
Then I'll be a runner up
B         B
(Almost enough)
Gm        C
(So close, but so far)
B                B
If I can't hold you in my arms
Gm    C   N.C.
Then I'll be a runner up
