Verse 1

[A] [F#m]

Oh, Heavens, hear my story

[D] [Esus4]

A cautionary tale

[A] [F#m]

Of how I came to be loved

[D] [E]

And how it came to fail

[Bm] [F#m]

A first time for lovers

[D] [E]

A first time in agony

[Bm] [F#m]

The truths you will uncover

[D] [E]

Will knock you on your knees

Chorus

[F#m] [D] [A]

I gave it too much, I gave myself up

[E]

I lost sight of all my dignity

[F#m] [D] [A]

I've always been smart, my chameleon heart

[E] [F#m] [D]

Took your draining personality and gave it to me

[A] [E] [Bm]

I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime

[F#m] [D]

My heart to you handed, you took it for granted

[E] [A]

And made me the villain, all alone

[F#m] [D] [E]

Verse 2

[A] [F#m]

I struggled through the winter

[D] [E]

Found cheat codes to your soul

[A] [F#m7]

Was born to be a giver

[DM7] [E]

Destined to pay the toll

Chorus

[F#m] [D] [A]

I gave it too much, I gave myself up

[E]

I lost sight of all my dignity

[F#m] [D] [A]

I've always been smart, my chameleon heart

[E] [F#m] [Bm]

Took your draining personality and gave it to me

[A] [E] [Bm]

I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime

[F#m] [DM7]

My heart to you handed, you took it for granted

[E]

And made me the villain

Bridge

[A] [F#m]

Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child

[DM7] [Esus4]

Who never saw his mother smile

[A] [F#m]

A boy who had no sense of home

[DM7] [Esus4]

Believes he's better off alone

[F#m] [DM7] [A] [E]

Who coils up in jealousy, to mask his insecurities

[F#m] [D]

And I can't fix you, God, I tried

[B] [D] [E]

The hourglass I shattered just in time

Outro

[F#m] [Bm]

I gave it too much, I gave myself up

[A] [E]

I lost sight of all my dignity

[F#m] [Bm] [A]

One more lover fails, cautionary tales

[E]

Continue to happen to me
