Intro:
C#m7 B F#
C#m7 B F#
Verse 1:
C#m7 B F#sus4
I put myself up on your shelf
C#m7 B F#sus4
You gave it all and nothing else
C#m7 B F#sus4
But no one can live up to these high expectations of mine
C#m7 B F#sus4
But that doesn't mean that you resist the temptation to try
C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#
I remember just how it felt to be loved, to be held
Pre-chorus:
C#m7 B F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
C#m7 B F#sus4 F#
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb
Chorus:
E B D#m G#m E B D#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E B D#m G#m E B D#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again
Verse 2:
C#m7 B F#sus4
Don't act surprised when we both know
C#m7 B F#sus4
It's just the way, the way it goes
C#m7 B F#sus4
I never wanted to leave, but never needed to stay
C#m7 B F#sus4 F#
The harder I tried to keep, the harder it was to change
Chorus:
E B D#m G#m E B D#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E B D#m G#m E B D#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again
Interlude:
E B F#
E G#m D#m
Bridge:
E B F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
E G#m D#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me
E B F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
E G#m D#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me
Pre-chorus:
C#m7 B F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
C#m7 B F#sus4
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb
Interlude:
F#
Verse 3:
F# D#m
Cover me, every piece
G#m F#
When I can't control myself
D#m A#m B
I wouldn't be with anybody else
F# D#m
Cover me, never lead
G#m F#
I might be strong on my own
D#m A#m B
But you're the better half that makes me whole
F# D#m
Cover me in your truth
G#m F#
Forget all the perfect words
D#m A#m B
It's everyday that you show me proof
F# D#m
Forgive me, like you do
G#m F#
When I try, but I fail
D#m A#m B
