Vera Blue - Pedestal/Cover Me

Intro:
C#m7C#m7 BB  F#F#
C#m7C#m7 BB  F#F#

Verse 1:
    C#m7C#m7 BB      F#sus4F#sus4
I put myself up on your shelf
      C#m7C#m7 BB      F#sus4F#sus4
You gave it all  and nothing else
  C#m7C#m7         BB        F#sus4F#sus4
But no one can live up to these high expectations of mine
  C#m7C#m7             BB      F#sus4F#sus4
But that doesn't mean that you resist the temptation to try
    C#m7C#m7 BB       F#F#     C#m7C#m7 BB   F#F#
I remember  just how it felt to be loved, to be held

Pre-chorus:
C#m7C#m7         BB        F#sus4F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
  C#m7C#m7          BB          F#sus4F#sus4    F#F#
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

Chorus:
E MajorE    BB  D#mD#m           G# minorG#m       E MajorE    BB   D#mD#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E MajorE    BB  D#mD#m         G# minorG#m        E MajorE    BB   D#mD#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

Verse 2:
       C#m7C#m7 BB       F#sus4F#sus4
Don't act surprised when we both know
       C#m7C#m7 BB      F#sus4F#sus4
It's just the way, the way it goes
C#m7C#m7       BB        F#sus4F#sus4
I never wanted to leave, but never needed to stay
C#m7C#m7          BB         F#sus4F#sus4    F#F#
The harder I tried to keep, the harder it was to change

Chorus:
E MajorE    BB  D#mD#m           G# minorG#m       E MajorE    BB   D#mD#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E MajorE    BB  D#mD#m         G# minorG#m        E MajorE    BB   D#mD#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

Interlude:
E MajorE    BB  F#F#
E MajorE    G# minorG#m D#mD#m

Bridge:
   E MajorE      BB    F#F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
     E MajorE        G# minorG#m   D#mD#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me
   E MajorE      BB    F#F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
     E MajorE        G# minorG#m   D#mD#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me

Pre-chorus:
C#m7C#m7         BB        F#sus4F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
  C#m7C#m7          BB          F#sus4F#sus4
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

Interlude:
F#F#

Verse 3:
   F#F#    D#mD#m
Cover me, every piece
    G# minorG#m       F#F#
When I can't control myself
      D#mD#m    A#mA#m BB
I wouldn't be with anybody else
   F#F#    D#mD#m
Cover me, never lead
      G# minorG#m     F#F#
I might be strong on my own
        D#mD#m       A#mA#m   BB
But you're the better half that makes me whole
   F#F#     D#mD#m
Cover me in your truth
    G# minorG#m       F#F#
Forget all the perfect words
     D#mD#m     A#mA#m   BB
It's everyday that you show me proof
    F#F#      D#mD#m
Forgive me, like you do
    G# minorG#m    F#F#
When I try, but I fail
     D#mD#m      A#mA#m    BB
