Verse 1:
G
  I know that I fucked up when I
Cadd9
  Told you I'm afraid of heights
G
  It made you wanna test my courage
D
  You made me climb a cliff at night
G
  You wanted me to jump and I declined
Cadd9
  You called me a coward, I replied
G

  "I don't wanna live forever
D
  but I don’t wanna die tonight"


Chorus:
Em                             C
  When the black water ate you up

  Like a sugar cube in a teacup
G
  I got the point you were makin'
D
  When I held my breath 'til you came up

Cadd9 G


Verse 2:
G
  There's been a run of fires downtown
Cadd9
  On half built construction sites
G
  I know you never liked a townhouse
D
  I've seen you climb a crane at night
G
  If they ever catch you at it
Cadd9
  I know you'd want me to be proud
G
  That you took a rich man's dream
D
  And brought it with you on your way down


Chorus:
Em                                        C
  "Cause one man's dream is another man's death"
                              G
  I remember when you told me that
                                    D
  Didn't know what to say so I just laughed

  Now I know it's not funny

Em G


Verse 3:
G
  I never rode a motorcycle
Cadd9
  I've never smoked a cigarette
G
  I wanna live a vibrant life
D
  But I wanna die a boring death
G
  I know I was a disappointment
Cadd9
  Know you wanted me to take a risk
G
  Not everybody gets the chance to live
D
  A life that isn't dangerous


Outro:
Em                     C
  You called me a crybaby

  But you're the one who got teary
G
  Tellin' me what you believe
D
  How we're stuck in entropy
C
  How it hurts to hope
Em
  Oh, it hurts to hope for more
G                          D
  Oh, it hurts to hope the future
                        Cadd9
  Will be better than before

G
