🎸 Verse 1:
E                         B
  I didn’t mean to be the fuel in your fire
             C#m                    B    Bsus4
At least I’m keeping you warm in my arms
E                        B
  You always come to me, come to me crying
        C#m                    B    Bsus4
I can’t sit on the sideline anymore
        F#m                    E               B
But I'm honored, you think I'm stronger than I am

🎸 Chorus 1:
                     A                              Am
You paint me as your leader, even when it’s washed away
                  E                            B
Even when I say I need ya, when I say I’m not okay
                         A                  Am
Guess I’ll only be your leader every single day
                       E                             B
It’s a burden that I’m bleeding, so I’ll cover it in paint (oh-oh)
         A                               Am
It’s not mutual this love, cause’ I’d do anything for ya
        E               E/D#            C#m
But I’m selfish, if I’m helpless on the floor
      Am
Can’t do this anymore,
               E     Esus2/D#
Can’t be your leader


🎸 Verse 2:
E                         B
  I’m problematic, I’m in trouble again
             C#m                           B       Bsus4
Mess with my friends and I’m gonna have to face ya
E                        B
  But if by magic I’m on the other hand
           C#m                        B        Bsus4
I’m always left alone, I know I’ll be nameless
        F#m                    E               B
But I'm honored, you think I'm stronger than I am


🎸 Chorus 2:
                            A                               Am
Cause’ you paint me as your leader, even when it’s washed away
                  E                            E/D#
Even when I say I need ya, when I say I’m not okay
                         A                   Am
Guess I’ll only be your leader every single day
                         E                           E/D#
It’s a burden that I’m bleeding, so I’ll cover it in paint (oh-oh)
         A                               Am
It’s not mutual this love, cause’ I’d do anything for ya
        E               E/D#            C#m
But I’m selfish, if I’m helpless on the floor
        E                 E/D#           C#m
And I’m so damn close you know I see the door
  E              E/D#                       C#m
I hate to draw a blank on what I’m fighting for
   E              E/D#                       C#m
If only you cared for me just a little bit more
                  A     B
You would never ignore


🎸 Chorus 3:
                         A                             Am
That I’m painted as your leader, even when it’s washed away
                  E                            E/D#
Even when I say I need ya, when I say I’m not okay
                   A                  Am
I’ll only be your leader every single day
                         E                           E/D#
It’s a burden that I’m bleeding, so I’ll cover it in paint (oh-oh)
         A                               Am
It’s not mutual this love, cause’ I’d do anything for ya
        E               E/D#            C#m
But I’m selfish, if I’m helpless on the floor
      A            Am
Can’t do this anymo-re
              E      B  C#m  B
Can’t be your leader

Can’t be your leader
