Intro: G Verse 1: Gadd2 Em7 C6 Dadd4 Oh, heavens, hear my story, a cautionary tale Gadd2 Em7 C6 Dadd4 Of how I came to be loved, and how it came to fail Am7 Em C6 Dadd4 A first time for lovers, a first time in agony Am7 Em C6 Dadd4 The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees Chorus: Em C6 G I gave it too much, I gave myself up Dadd4 I lost sight of all my dignity Em C6 G I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Dadd4 Em C6 Took your draining personality and gave it to me G D Am I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime Em C6 My heart to you handed, you took it for granted Dadd4 Gadd2 Em7 Cadd9 Dadd4 And made me the villain, all alone
Verse 2: Gadd2 Em7 I struggled through the winter Cadd9 Dadd4 Found cheat codes to your soul Gadd2 Em7 Was born to be a giver Cadd9 Dadd4 Destined to pay the toll Chorus: Em C6 G I gave it too much, I gave myself up Dadd4 I lost sight of all my dignity Em C6 G I've always been smart, my chameleon heart Dadd4 Em C6 Took your draining personality and gave it to me G D Am I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime Em C6 My heart to you handed, you took it for granted Dadd4 And made me the villain Bridge: G Em Cmaj7 D6 Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child who never saw his mother smile G Em Cmaj7 D6 A boy who had no sense of home, believes he's better off alone Em Cmaj7 G D B7/D# Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities Em Cmaj7 A C D And I can't fix you, God, I tried, the hourglass I shattered just in time Outro: Em C6 G I gave it too much, I gave myself up D I lost sight of all my dignity Em C6 G One more lover fails, cautionary tales D Continue to happen to me
