INTRO: E

E       B
One day your face will fade
A                   C#m
And your heart will see new things
E                B
Someday there'll be no parade
A                   C#m
And you'll see what life can bring
E           B
You made me wait for you
A                    C#m
While your brilliant mind was seething
E                       B
I guess you didn't know that you were
A                   C#m
The only thing that kept me breathing
E      B
I said the things I said
A             C#m
Not because I meant to harm you
E                     B
Now you know that I'm nearly dead
A                     C#m
I'll just bet that it kinda warms you


CHORUS:
B                      A
You left me out on the edge of the world
B                              A
You played your cards and your power as the girl
B                              A
You watched with pride as your flag unfurled
    C#m                B                     E
And you watched me fall from the edge of the world

E             B
Revenge is so sweet they say
A                       C#m
But they don't tell you that it eats you
E             B
Your crowd is gathered 'round today
A                                   C#m
But someday they're the ones who'll beat you
E               B
I know that I'm wrong about
A                   C#m
What came out of me last time we talked
E                  B
But do you have to shout it out
A                     C#m
That you think that I would really walk


CHORUS

E                      B
You said I could never be too intense
A                   C#m
It only proved that I really loved you
E                B
You said that it all made sense
A                   C#m
That I would put no one above you
E                      B
And now we're just one slip on my part
A                   B
You've used that to damn me
E                     B
If you felt the desperation in my heart
A                       C#m
Then maybe you wouldn't slam me


CHORUS

E          B
I pray you never lose your face
A               C#m
I hope it stays brand new
E                    B
'Cause in this world it's the place
A               C#m
Where everybody seems to love you
E               B
Where I live it doesn't mean a thing
A             C#m
I'll be there in forever
E           B
If you ever hear my heart sing
A           C#m   
You'll know we're together
