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
