Verse 1:

              Bm         G#m    E
You always lived your life,
  F#    D  C#m   Bm
head first my friend.
     G          F#              D   C#m    Bm
It's been the same since the day you were born,
  G            F#          Bm    G#m    G  F#
when you came out head first.


Verse 2:
              Bm   G#m    E
You always needed to
  F#    D  C#m   Bm     G
have all eyes on you,
  F#        D   C#m    Bm
taking the best that I had
   G            F#          Bm
to make me look one worse.

Chorus:

      E                         B     A
And you, so very impressed with me.
        G#m    Bdim/F   F#      B     G#m   G  F#
and how easily I could accept defeat.



Verse 3:

              Bm   G#m    E
Oh, I lived my life that way,
  F#    D  C#m   Bm     G
Permanently second place,
 F#        D   C#m    Bm
looking up into your face,
   G            F#          Bm
to check my next move first.


Chorus:

     E                         B     
And you, the best thing I got for me.
 A             G#m      Bdim/F       F#       B     
left when she knew it was you I was trying to be,
A              G#m       Bdim/F          F#       B 
left when she knew it was you who would always come first.
   B                        F#       Bm
Sure you'll be there, jump in head first.
