Someone To Fall Back On chords by Jason Robert Brown

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C     Csus
  I'll never be
Csus(add2)       G/C
  A knight in armor
             Fsus2   F(add2)
With a sword in hand
     F6add2         Fmaj9
Or a Kamikaze fighter;
C       Csus
  Don't count on me
Csus(add2)        G/C
  To storm the barricades
    Fsus2     f(add2)
And take a stand
      F6add2        Fmaj9
Or hold my ground;
Am7
  You'll never see
     Am7/G
Any scars or wounds-
        Am7/F
I don't walk on coals
        D7/F#
I won't walk on water:

Chorus:
Csus2  Dm7add4
   I am no prince
C/E  F(add2)   C(add2)G
   I am no saint
  F(add2)/A  G/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/B       C        Csus
And be someone      to fall back on

Verse 2:
C     Csus
  Some comedy -
Csus(add2)           G/C
  You're bruised and beaten down
     Fsus2     F(add2)
And I'm the one
      F6add2        Fmaj9
Who's looking for a favor
C       Csus
  Still, honestly
Csus(add2)           G/C
  You don't believe me
        Fsus2     F(add2)
But the things I have
        F6add2        Fmaj9
Are the things you need
Am7
  You look at me
       Am7/G
Like I don't make sense
       Am7/F
Like a waste of time
        D7/F#
Like it serves no purpose -

Chorus:
Csus2  Dm7add4
  I am no prince
  F(add2)   C(add2)G
  I am no saint
      F(add2)/A   G/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/B     C        Csus
You need someone to fall back on...

Bridge:
                  Fsus2/A
And I'll be that:
                    Fsus2
I'll take your side
             Dsus   D
If I'm the only one
        F69       Am11
I'm used to that
                 F69
I've been alone
              Dsus   D    Dsus
I'd rather be
        D      Fsus2
The half of us
                   Dsus2/F#
The least of you
                G6   F/G
The best of me

I will go crash - ing through fences
  Dm11              F(add2)      Csus2/G
In your name. I will, I swear -

I'll be           someone to fall    back on!

F/G     Am9  F/A  G(add4)/B      F/B   C      F/C
  And for as long            as you'll let me
  G(add4)/D   Dm7  Cmaj7/E  F/E    C/F         F      G(add4)
