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

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

Bridge:
Am              Em
Now the sun is setting
F                    C
And I must face the night
Am                   Em
‘Cuz now I know the darkness
F         C
That you embrace
Am                    Em
Everything that ever happened
Am              Em
Doesn’t matter anymore
F                    C
Doesn’t matter where you’re going
G
It just matters who you are

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

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