Verse 1:
N.C.
It's an amazing smile

Even the suit has teeth
N.C.
Everything flash and guile

Nothing underneath
         B                      G#m             A
Except a small black heart that no one sees but me
F#m                 C             Am       Em/B C
I've been watching, I can see you start to wonder


Chorus:
E         B       G#m      C#m
 Could it be that you need me
   F#m7/C#  G#madd6 Aadd2/E Badd4/F#
To keep you out, to run you faster
E        B         G#m    C#m
 Promise me you'll let me be
    F#m7/C#  Bsus4    B7       F#m7/C#
The one, the worst of all your enemies
   Bsus4   B7       F#m7
Pretending you're a friend to me
Bsus4    B7       N.C.
Say that we'll be nemeses


Verse 2:
N.C.
Being a brilliant man

Going to great expense
N.C.
Devising a master plan

Doesn't make much sense
           B                   G#m             A
Unless you find the one you're destined to destroy
F#m                  C                 Am    Em/B C
Now that you're here I don't seem that crazy do I?


Chorus:
E         B       G#m      C#m
 Could it be that you need me
   F#m7/C#  G#madd6 Aadd2/E Badd4/F#
To keep you out, to run you faster
E        B         G#m    C#m
 Promise me you'll let me be
    F#m7/C#  Bsus4    B7       F#m7/C#
The one, the worst of all your enemies
   Bsus4   B7       F#m7
Pretending you're a friend to me
Bsus4    B7       N.C.
Say that we'll be nemeses


Bridge:
   F#11/C#
Ah yes, my old friend
          A              B7
You are a master of this game
            F#11/C#
The hidden blade When you pretend
               A
That you don't even know my name
N.C.
Well played


Verse 3:
N.C.
Sometimes it's hard to tell

If you even notice me
N.C.
Maybe it's just as well

It's better you don't see
            B               G#m               A
The way I'm running just to keep your back in view
F#m            C               Am      Em/B  C
In your shadow waiting for the perfect moment

E         B       G#m      C#m
 Could it be that you need me
   F#m7/C#  G#madd6 Aadd2/E Badd4/F#
To keep you out, to run you faster
E        B         G#m    C#m
 Promise me you'll let me be
    F#m7/C#  Bsus4    B7        F#m7/C#
The one, the worst of all your enemies
   Bsus4      B7         F#m7
Pretending you're a friend to me
Bsus4    B7       N.C.
Say that we'll be nemeses
