Cadd9 G
My only one
Em D
My smoking gun
Cadd9 G
My eclipsed sun

My twisted knife

My sleepless night
Cadd9 G
My winless fight
Em D
This has frozen my ground
Chorus:
Cadd9 G Em D
Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"
Cadd9 G Em D
Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in

Don't want no other shade of blue but you
Cadd9 G Em D
No other sadness in the world would do

My best laid plan

Your sleight of hand

My barren land

I am ash from your fire

Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason"

Bridge:
Cadd9 G Em
You know I left a part of me back in New York
D Cadd9
You knew the hero died so what's the movie for?
G Em
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
D
From when they pulled me apart
Cadd9 G Em
You knew the password so I let you in the door
D Cadd9
You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score?
G Em
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
D
From when they pulled me apart
Cadd9
But what you did was just as dark
G Em D Cadd9
(Ah, ah, ah)
G Em
Darling, this was just as hard
D Cadd9
As when they pulled me apart
Outro:
Cadd9 G
My only one
Em D
My kingdom come undone
Cadd9 G
My broken drum
Em D
You have beaten my heart
Cadd9 G Em D
Don't want no other shade of blue but you
Cadd9 G Em D
No other sadness in the world would do
Cadd9 G Em D
