Verse 1:
C majorC   CsusCsus
 I'll never be
Csus(add2)    G/C
 A augmentedA knight in armor
       Fsus2Fsus2  F(add2)
With a sword in hand
   F6add2     FMaj9Fmaj9
Or a Kamikaze fighter;
C majorC    CsusCsus
 Don't count on me
Csus(add2)    G/C
 To storm the barricades
  Fsus2Fsus2   f(add2)
And take a stand
   F6add2    FMaj9Fmaj9
Or hold my ground;
Am7Am7
 You'll never see
   Am7/GAm7/G
Any scars or wounds-
    Am7/F
I don't walk on coals
    D7/F#D7/F#
I won't walk on water:

Chorus:
Csus2Csus2 Dm7add4
  I am no prince
C/EC/E F(add2)  C(add2)G
  I am no saint
 F(add2)/A G/BG/B   C(add2)  Dm7add4
I am not anyone's wildest dream
   C(add2)/E  F(add2)  C(add2)/G
But I can   stand behind
   Fsus2/A  G/BG/B    C majorC    CsusCsus
And be someone   to fall back on

Verse 2:
C majorC   CsusCsus
 Some comedy -
Csus(add2)      G/C
 You're bruised and beaten down
   Fsus2Fsus2   F(add2)
And I'm the one
   F6add2    FMaj9Fmaj9
Who's looking for a favor
C majorC    CsusCsus
 Still, honestly
Csus(add2)      G/C
 You don't believe me
    Fsus2Fsus2   F(add2)
But the things I have
    F6add2    FMaj9Fmaj9
Are the things you need
Am7Am7
 You look at me
    Am7/GAm7/G
Like I don't make sense
    Am7/F
Like a waste of time
    D7/F#D7/F#
Like it serves no purpose -

Chorus:
Csus2Csus2 Dm7add4
 I am no prince
 F(add2)  C(add2)G
 I am no saint
   F(add2)/A  G/BG/B     C(add2)  Dm7add4
And if that's what you believe you need
      C(add2)/E  F(add2)   C(add2)/G
You're wrong - you don't need much
   Fsus2/A  G/BG/B   C majorC    CsusCsus
You need someone to fall back on...

I'd rather be
    D MajorD   Fsus2Fsus2

The best of me
