This song is best played on piano say the chords are a bit awkward for guitar.
Intro:
G#m B
Gaug G#m
G#m B
Everyone loves a man, who lets the hardest people
Gaug G#m
Build him up and cut him down to lovable size
G#m B
And somebody holds a candle, by right it tastes all longing
Gaug G#m
Words are remembered: us and them, you love, you despise
B F#/A# G#m B/F# E
B/D# C#m ***
I've seen the years go by in triple lines of gray
B G#m
Oh, you were always on the ground
B G#m
You're always on the ground
B F#/A# G#m B/F# E
B/D# C#m
If I could catch you, I would hold you for a day
B G#m
Oh, won't you do this when you can
B G#m
Do what you can
E B/D# C#m Gaug
I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
B E
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
B/F# F#
I could draw on all these things, baby I feel this beauty pull me to a
B E B/F#
Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we learn to grieve
F#
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be
G#m B
Gaug G#m x2
Everyone has a secret, so bite your mother tongue
And let the truth bleed over you, you wolf in sheep-skin
You can never describe the future, but you can paint the past
In shades of blue, or money used with pneumonic charm
God, shake this sickness, won't this decade ever end?
Oh, it's be going on for years
Been happening for years
Can't face the truth, why can't things always just be begin
Because they always end in tears
They always end in tears
I've seen the hardest people soften in the spotlight
Won't you stop and breathe, tell me what you want to feel
I could draw on all these things, baby I feel this beauty pull me to a
Soft and warm, I know this all I need, why don't we learn to grieve
Baby I'd leave you for the person you used to be
G#m B
Gaug G#m x2
B Em/B
E/B F#7/B
