Verse 1:
     C majorC  E minorEm  FF    C majorC
I thought love was the greatest gift
   FF    C majorC    G+G
That I could give to you
      C majorC E minorEm      FF   C majorC
But I found out you like a darker tune
      FF        G+G   FF
There was nothing I could do to save you
     C majorC E minorEm     FF       C majorC
‘Cuz it’s a curse, your sympathy and fate
  FF     C majorC       G+G
You never hesitate to forgive
     C majorC E minorEm      FF      C majorC
But this world, it just takes and takes
    FF           G+G
There’s only so much you can bear
    FF
Before you break

Chorus:
   C majorC
I adore you
FF         C majorC
how you break the rules
FF          C majorC        G+G
all the things you do to keep it true
 C majorC
I adore you
      FF     C majorC
With your paralyzing fears
   FF    C majorC
Your mascara tears

Why so hard on yourself

Bridge:
A minorAm       E minorEm
Now the sun is setting
FF          C majorC
And I must face the night
A minorAm          E minorEm
‘Cuz now I know the darkness
FF     C majorC
That you embrace
A minorAm          E minorEm
Everything that ever happened
A minorAm       E minorEm
Doesn’t matter anymore
FF          C majorC
Doesn’t matter where you’re going
G+G
It just matters who you are

Verse 3:
    C majorC E minorEm       FF        C majorC
No one told you but you like that disconnect
  FF          C majorC
Not knowing what comes next
G+G
Or what could have been
     C majorC      E minorEm
So we’ll raise this glass
     FF        C majorC
We won’t talk about the why
     FF        C majorC
We don’t have to say goodbye
      G+G        FF
We’ll just say until the next time

how you break the rules
FF          C majorC       G+G
all the things you do to keep it true
 C majorC
I adore you
     FF      C majorC
With your paralyzing fears
   FF    C majorC
Your mascara tears
   G+G    FF
Why so hard on yourself
