Verse 1:
       D                                  G
You're bitter, bitter, bitter, bitter is sweet
                          Bm   D           G
So give in, give in, give in, give me more
       D                                G
Your figure, figure, figure, figure of speech
                        Bm             G
Someone will face the fire if you fall

And when you fall

Pre-Chorus:
Bm               G           D
Staring down the barrel of a gun
Bm           G                D
I knew that you would be the one
Bm              G              D
Raise a glass, looking at the sun
       A
Mimic life you've seen and spun

Chorus:
         Bm                          G
Well you told me last night that you think
           D                    A
About how you and I met in the spring of our lives
          Bm             G
You've regressed to the sting
              D
Chasing your shadow in the mirror of the king
             Bm
Hearing you sing
                   G                     D
Raise me from the living I've come again
                            A           Bm
Raise me to the limits you gave me then
                  G              D
Save me from the river of sin again, again, again

Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger than me
                       Bm                G
Waiting to face the barrel when you call
D                                 G
Wither, wither, wither, wither in me
Bm                                 G
Ready to face the fire if you fall
     D
