Chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
B minorBm G+G GbGb
I used to think that love was like the stories
F#7A#7 CbCb
A augmentedA princess feeling lonely
GbGb
Trapped inside a tower

So desperate that she put herself in danger

Made saviors out of strangers
GbGb
And gave 'em all the power
Pre-Chorus:
G+G CbCb GbGb
But then, you made me wonder
B minorBm F#7A#7
Where's the horse? Where's the armor?
CbCb GbGb
Tell me, how come there's no dragons in these halls?
Chorus:
CbCb
I thought I had to die for you lovе me
GbGb
Thought that peace could only comе from war
GbGb
Thought I had to break down to be found
B minorBm
That it could only work if it hurts

Thought I had to set myself on fire
GbGb
If I ever wanted to be warm
GbGb G+G CbCb B minorBm
But you give me a slow burn
CbCb GbGb G+G CbCb
Hmm

So used to leaving teardrops on the pages
F#7A#7 CbCb
Watching battles rage, and
GbGb
Writing it all off

Fm-mm, but you're touching me and suddenly, it's easy
F#7A#7 CbCb
I'm not even bleeding
GbGb
But I believe it all
Pre-Chorus:

Where's the climax of this novel?
