A firm kick in [E] the pants, this [Bm] last chance to [D] get things [E] right.
[A] This was one [E] time I closed [B] an eye, [Bm] [D] looked away from [E] you.
[F#m]
Look out for yourself tonight, [D]
sometimes I have to get things right.
[A] I [E] never meant [Bm] what I said to you, [A] give up [E] all the things [Bm] that you [D] love to do.
[A] I [E] never guessed [Bm] that you'd do me wrong, [A] I'll [E] never accept [Bm] [D] that guessing's wrong.
[A]
A little [E] time to adjust [Bm] would be just what [E] they need.
[A] I meant to tell you what [E] I think, that [Bm] you'd think when I [E] crossed your [F#m] mind.
Forgot, stressed at the [D] light, what's wrong with being uptight?
[A] I [E] never say [Bm] what I intend to, [A] but [E] does it mean [Bm] that [D] much to you?
[A]
At a [E] cost, off with [Bm] a glitching [F#m] time, [A] are you [E] really that happy to [D] be mine?
[E] No, I'm not [D] disguising [E] all that [D] fighting, [E] dreams not coming [F#m] true.
[C#m] [E]
[B] [F#] [E]
[F#] I'll play [E] some life from the start, [F#m] the world by [E] my [B] side.
[F#] Now we'll see dawn [E] as the fallen [F#] maiden in [E] the sky.
[B] [F#] I will [C#] play [E] a song of thunder, [F#] you may [C#m] play it [E] tonight.
[B] You [F#] make up [C#] never, [E] that's [B] forever, [F#] knowing what [C#] you've [D] denied.
[E] [A] I'll revisit [E] the past, it's [Bm] a blast.
I've [D] just gotta [E] move on, [A] I've just let down [E] someone.
I'll rely [Bm] on [D] nothing [E] but what [F#m]
I bring.
Pretty up at space, [D]
fancy talking through me.
[A] I never [E] done what I [Bm] set out to [F#m] do.
[A] Don't come [E] to me, cause [Bm] I'll run [D] from you.
[A] Left [E] out of life, [Bm] would I really [F#m] care?
[A] Not a [E] whole lot, but [Bm] nothing [D] for me there.
[E] I'll never [D] forget [E] the limits that [D] we set, [E] back when it [D] was all [F#m] blue.
[E] And I never made [D] a pretense [E] of living with [D] good sense.
[E] It's really not [D] my strong [F#m] suit.
[A] This was one [E] time I closed [B] an eye, [Bm] [D] looked away from [E] you.
