Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A minorAm        C majorC          G+G     FF
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
A minorAm       C majorC          G+G        D MajorD
I'm sure every perk has perked you up, how could it not?
A minorAm       C majorC         G+G         FF
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it?
      A minorAm       C majorC       G+G     Dsus4Dsus4  D MajorD
Dropping my name blew doors open that were closed before

Chorus:
FF      C majorC           A minorAm        G+G
And one day you'll see that you've never really seen me
FF    C majorC          G+G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
FF    C majorC     A minorAm             E minorEm
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    FF         C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
  D MajorD          A minorAm   C majorC  G+G  FF
And crashes me to the ground

Verse 2:
A minorAm      C majorC          G+G        FF
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage?
A minorAm       C majorC             G+G          D MajorD
I'm sure you enjoyed this game, and the proxy pride that you landed
A minorAm        C majorC         G+G     FF
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up
A minorAm       C majorC       G+G        D MajorD
You grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted

Chorus:
FF      C majorC           A minorAm        G+G
And one day you'll see that you've never really loved me
FF    C majorC          G+G
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of
Wasn't who stood before you
FF    C majorC     A minorAm             E minorEm
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    FF         C majorC   Dsus4Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
  D MajorD         Bb majorBb
And crashes me to the ground

Bb majorBb
You're left with a human being
(A minorAm)  A augmentedA
You're left with a fallible soul
Bb majorBb
Oh, when the glitter falls
  FF
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more
Bb majorBb              (A minorAm) A augmentedA
When the glare of the lights grow dim
                Bb majorBb
And you're left with a delicate real
                   FF    C majorC    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here

Chorus:
FF    C majorC           A minorAm        G+G
One day you'll see that you've never really seen me
FF      C majorC          G+G
And one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of,
Wasn't who stood before you
FF    C majorC     A minorAm             E minorEm
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now
    FF         C majorC  Dsus4Dsus4
As this pedestal crumbles down
    D MajorD        FF  C majorC D MajorD
As this pedestal crashes down
D MajorD         A minorAm    C majorC G+G FF
Crashes me to the ground

Outro:
A minorAm      C majorC         G+G
I hope you enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't?
  FF
Who wouldn't?
