Intro
[G]
Verse 1
[Gadd2] [Em7] [C6] [Dadd4]
Oh, heavens, hear my story, a cautionary tale
[Gadd2] [Em7] [C6] [Dadd4]
Of how I came to be loved, and how it came to fail
[Am7] [Em] [C6] [Dadd4]
A first time for lovers, a first time in agony
[Am7] [Em] [C6] [Dadd4]
The truths you will uncover will knock you on your knees
Chorus
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[Dadd4]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
[Dadd4] [Em] [C6]
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
[G] [D] [Am]
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
[Em] [C6]
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
[Dadd4] [Gadd2] [Em7] [Cadd9] [Dadd4]
And made me the villain, all alone
Verse 2
[Gadd2] [Em7]
I struggled through the winter
[Cadd9] [Dadd4]
Found cheat codes to your soul
[Gadd2] [Em7]
Was born to be a giver
[Cadd9] [Dadd4]
Destined to pay the toll
Chorus
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[Dadd4]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
I've always been smart, my chameleon heart
[Dadd4] [Em] [C6]
Took your draining personality and gave it to me
[G] [D] [Am]
I wanted to please you, this performance of a lifetime
[Em] [C6]
My heart to you handed, you took it for granted
[Dadd4]
And made me the villain
Bridge
[G] [Em] [Cmaj7] [D6]
Oh, inside you, there's a guiltless child who never saw his mother smile
[G] [Em] [Cmaj7] [D6]
A boy who had no sense of home, believes he's better off alone
[Em] [Cmaj7] [G] [D] [B7/D#]
Who coils up in jealousy to mask his insecurities
[Em] [Cmaj7] [A] [C] [D]
And I can't fix you, God, I tried, the hourglass I shattered just in time
Outro
[Em] [C6] [G]
I gave it too much, I gave myself up
[D]
I lost sight of all my dignity
[Em] [C6] [G]
One more lover fails, cautionary tales
[D]
Continue to happen to me
