Intro:

Bb                                  Cm7 Cm7b5
(Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)


Verse 1:
          Bb6  Bbdim7     Cm7     C#dim7
Swore I'd never      do this again
Dm7               G7              Cm7    F7
Think that I'm so clever, I could date a friend
        Bb6      Bbdim7          Cm7     C#dim7
He just called me
said he's running late
     Dm7          G7          Cm7  F7
Like me, he probably had to regurgitate
  D7                        Gm        D7/A      Gm/Bb D7/A Gm Gm/Bb
I know, it's irrational, at least I'm self-aware
    C9                               Cm7           F9
I'm shivering, maybe I'll stay home, oh shit, he's here


Chorus:
   Bb
My head's a wild place
        Gm            Dm7b5
I've considered every way
G7            Cm            Dm7b5 G7         Cm
Words I'll forget, deeply regret, he'll run away
    Eb6                         Ebmmaj7 Dm7          G7#5
And nothing brings me fear like meeting with my destiny
         Cm9                 F13               Bb                                     Bb6 Cm7 Cm7b5
But like clockwork, think he fell in love with me (Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)


Verse 2:
          Bb6     Bbdim7
Now we're drinking
           Cm7      C#dim7
Caught him fight or flight
  Dm7              G7            Cm7    F7
I think I might be loving this romantic night
           Bb6    Bbdim7        Cm7     C#dim7
Damn, he's smiling
starin' back at me
      Bm7            G7               Cm7    F7
We're at the arcade, think it's going perfectly
  D7                       Gm       D7/A   Gm/Bb D7/A Gm Gm/Bb
I know I'm dramatic, but I caved in at his touch
  C9                           Cm7           F9
I want him forever, oh my God, I've said too much


Chorus:
   Bb
My head's a wild place
        Gm            Dm7b5
I've considered every way
G7            Cm            Dm7b5 G7         Cm
Words I'll forget, deeply regret, he'll run away
    Eb6                         Ebmmaj7 Dm7          G7#5
And nothing brings me fear like meeting with my destiny


Outro:
         Cm9             F13
But good God, I think he fell in love
Dm7                  G7
   Tick, tock, and I fell in love too
Cm7                  F13               Bb
   Like clockwork, I fell in love with you (Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dong)

The countdown begins in Tokyo
Bm7         E7(b13)         Am7           Cm6/9        A9#11  D9
Twenty-seven days alone means twenty million ways to cope without you

The independent lady in me's nowhere to be found

I can't wait another day to see you

Oh, what a curse it is to be in love

I wait by the phone like a high school movie

Dream at the shows, you'll come running to me

Think I see you in the wings, God I'm hallucinating


Chorus:
       Am9                         D9

D Dmaj7


Verse 1:
             D        Dmaj7      Em7
Can't help but notice all of the ways
           Aadd4                                     D    Dmaj7
In which I failed myself, I failed the world all the same
                  D            Dmaj7        Em7
I don't think I'm pretty, it's not up for debate
               Aadd4                       D
A woman's best currency's her body, not her brain


Chorus:
Dmaj7       Bmadd9           Em7
They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
                 Aadd4                              Dmaj7
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along
    D6         Bmadd9                   Em7
The world is a sick place, at least for a girl

I'll never have enough of it

Sometimes I see her, she looks like Snow Whitе
                 Aadd4                            D       Dmaj7
She's everything I am, but my wrongs arе turned to rights
           D         Dmaj7      Em7
Her body is smaller, skin is so fair
               Aadd4
She's achieved everything I've dreamed of
         F#
And it's all that I can think of


Chorus:
Dmaj7       Bmadd9           Em7
They try to tell me, tell me I'm wrong
                 Aadd4                              Dmaj7
But mirrors tell lies to me, my mind just plays along

The world is a sick place, at least for a girl

The people want beauty, skinny always wins

Intro:

D


Verse 1:
  D                      Dmaj7
I racked my brain, spent hours and days
  Gmaj7
I still can't figure it out
     Em7
What happened that year in our house?
      G                    Gm
Still learning to live without you
  D               Dmaj7                    Gmaj7                Gm

The one where you walk out in glory, or the night I moved out in a hurry
       G                      Gm
Or the night I moved out in a hurry


Chorus:
  D
I think about you always
                     G
Tied together with a string
                              Gm                                 D
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring

It's a heartbreak
                          G
Marked the end of our girlhood
                           Gm                  D
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood


Verse 2:
D                  Dmaj7
Thirty months have come and gone
    Gmaj7
I'm dating the boy that we dreamed of
  Em7
I wish I could tell him about us
  G                           Gm
I wish I could tell you how I finally fell in love
D              Dmaj7            Gmaj7
 There's not a single day where I didn't wish we were better
     Em7
That I couldn't borrow your sweater
        G              Gm
We were meant to be forever and ever


Chorus:
  D
I think about you always
                     G
Tied together with a string
                              Gm                                 D
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring

It's a heartbreak
                          G
Marked the end of our girlhood
                           Gm                  Bm
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood


Bridge:
  Bm               F#+/Bb
I wish you well, I wish like hell
    D/A             G#dim7
You hadn't lied, we could be fine
    Bm            F#+/Bb
The way I dress, over-obsessed
      D/A              G#dim7
Still just like you, I owe it to
    G                           Gm
The best-worst friend I've ever had


Chorus:
  D
I think about you always
                     G
Tied together with a string
                              Gm                                 D
I thought that lilies died by winter, then they bloomed again in spring

My first heartbreak
                          G
Marked the end of our girlhood
                           Gm
We'll never go back to our castle in Hollywood

CAPO: 3

Verse 1:
    G                           Gmaj7                Em7  Cm/D#
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love
  G                       Gmaj7                     Em7
I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about
Cm/D#        G                 Gmaj7
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
           Em7                Cm/D
I'm just a jester, I'll never be him
               G/D
Last night you called to me
          D7sus4
It almost killed me


Chorus:
   G
To hear you scream my name
     Gmaj7
Your smile still kills the same
  Cmaj7
I almost turned around
    Cm
You chased me to the ground
    G
You asked me how I've been
    Gmaj7
But how do I begin
   Cmaj7
To tell you I should've chased
     Cm
You 'cross every single state?
  G/D
I lay down my sword for fate
       Cm/D#                        N.C.
'Cause it's too little, way too late


Verse 2:
G                   Gmaj7                      G6    Cm6/G
I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong
   G                   Gmaj7            G6   Cm6/G
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song
                 G                      Gmaj7
Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes
            C/G                   Cm6/G
What if you leave him? Throw me a lifetime
            G/D          C#dim7
I know that you're happy
            Cm6
But it just killed me


Chorus:
   G
To hear you scream my name
  Gmaj7
A clear fucking x-ray
   Cmaj7
Of if I'd stuck around
  Cm
I swear to God I almost drowned
    G
You asked me how I've been
    Gmaj7
But how could I begin
   Cmaj7
To tell you I should've chased you
Cm6
I should be who you're engaged to?


Bridge:
G/D
Lost my fight with fate
  Cm/D#
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
  Em
I give in, I abdicate
  G6/F
I lay my sword down anyway
     Em
I'll see you at Heaven's gate
       Cm/D#                         G Gmaj9 Cmaj7
'Cause it's too little, way too late


Outro:
     Cm                             G Gmaj9 Cmaj7
I'll toast outside your wedding day
Cm                        G
Whisper vows I'll never say to you
       Cmmaj7
'Cause it's too little, all too late

Em           Am                F#dim7       B7
Hold up your chin, deep breath in
it's alright
Em       Am          F#dim7      B7
Here I begin missing him
it's my plight
Em            Am         D9         G   B7
Nothing worth having has come to me easily
Em        Am             D7      G       B7
I've sacrificed you, all of you, completely

Love you forever, don't let go of me
  D7                      G
I left my own homeland to chase reverie

Gleymdu mér aldrei þó ég héðan flýg
B7                    Em
Gleymdu mér aldrei, elskan mín

Bends in your body, the hope of your spring
Em           Am        D7  G
Millions now hear my soliloquy
Em             Am         D7         B7
I'm still that child on a black sand beach

Em                      Am

Verse 1:
        C                             A7
Are you tired? I can tell that you're tired
     Dm7                              Dm7b5
Your eyes turn gray, you beg me to be silent
                 C
You said I can’t read your mind
                   A7
But I'm reading it just fine
    Dm7
You think you're so misunderstood
    Dm7b5
The black cat of your neighborhood


Chorus:
      C
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
     Dm7b5
I’ll break it first, I've had enough
   C
Of waiting 'til you lie and cheat
     Dm7b5                         Bm
Just like you did to the actress before me
E9        Am           D9
Oops, she doesn't even know
    Dm                   Dm7b5           C
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you go


Post-Chorus:

Tough luck, tough luck


Verse 2:
                     C
Since we're spilling secrets
                    A7
Does your mothеr even know? (Mother еven know)
      Dm7
You demoralized, defaced me
        Dm7b5
Just to feed your frail ego (Oh)
                             C
When you're screaming at the TV
                     A7
Cussing out opposing football teams
    Dm7
You say I’d never understand
    Dm7b5
The things that make a man a man


Chorus:
      C
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
     Dm7b5
I’ll break it first, I've had enough
   C
Of waiting 'til you lie and cheat

Oops, she doesn't even know
    Dm                   Dm7b5
You won't be missed, I'm glad to see you


Bridge:
C
I should congratulate thee

For so nearly convincing me
    Dm7b5
I’m not quite as smart as I seem

That I'm a loud-mouthed nobody
   C
My accent and music are dumb

Your tattoos are no better, hun
    Dm7b5
The proof says you're tragic as fuck
                                      C
The truth is that's just tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
             Bdim7
Tough, tough luck (Tough luck)
             Fm
Tough, tough luck (Tough, tough luck)
Dm7b5
(Tough, tough luck)


Chorus:
      C
Tough luck, my boy, your time is up
     Dm7b5
I’ll break it first, I've had enough
   C
Of waiting 'til you lie and cheat

Just like you did to the actress before me
E9        Am           D9
Oops, she doesn't even know

CAPO: 4

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

Intro:

G


Verse 1:
          G
Saging my bedroom
                             B
Dusting every surface, every corner
                             Cadd2
Pleading and praying it gets warmer
        Cmadd2        G
In this hollow winter tide
               G
Three hours of sunlight
                                B
Don't really matter when you're deprived
                          Cadd2
Of happiness, enweakened, advised
   Cmadd2       G
To find some oxygen


Chorus:
        Cmaj7                        Gadd9
Sweeter pastures, wait for me like a lover
            A9                                 D
My soul has suffered, get the fuck out of my atmosphere
                           G
I'm breathing clean, clean air


Verse 2:
                G
Went through an X-ray
                                    B
Doctor said there's nothing left to see now
                                 Cadd2
Nothing weird or scary, although somehow
     Cmadd2               G
Your heart turned back to gold
               G
Guess I'd been wounded
                              B
Tiny comments ricocheted like bullets
                            Cadd2
Cyclone on a sunny day, you shook it
    Cmadd2             G
And dragged me down to hell


Chorus:
            Cmaj7                        Gadd9
Now sweeter pastures, wait for me like a lover
                A9                                 D
Lord knows I've suffered, get the fuck out of my atmosphere

I'm breathing clean, clean air

It's a special of mine to cause disaster
      Em7          B7          Fmaj7      Fm6
So prepare for the impact, and brace your heart
    Dm7           Ddim7/G    C    Fm6
For cold, bloody, bitter sabotage

  C                        Fm6
I swear that one day, I'll marry you
     C                         Fm6
I'll get in the way, just like I always do
      Am          E+/G#
You assure me you love me

Your message won't go through

Why won't it go through?

     C                              Fm6
It's just a matter of time till you see the dagger

It's a special of mine to cause disaster

So prepare for the impact, and brace your heart

Verse 1:
           A7
Seems like old times

Having you to walk with

Seems like old times

Having you to talk with


Chorus:
         Dm9     G13             Bb7           A7
And it's still a thrill, just to have my arms around you
D9                          G7
  Still the thrill, that it was the day I found you


Verse 2:
           A7
Seems like old times

Dinner dates and flowers
        D9
Just like old times

Staying up for hours


Chorus:
       Dm9         G13         C6          Bb7     A7
Making dreams come true, doing things we used to do
           D9       G7
Seems like old times, being here with you

Seems like old times

Having you to talk with

         Dm9     G13             Bb7           A7

  Still the thrill, that it was the day I found you
