Introduction:
Bm G
I'm not your perfect picture
D
I'm not your favorite song
A
I'm not your hand to hold
Bm G
Not the answer to your problems
D A
So don't talk to me like I'm some hero laced in gold
Pre-Chorus
Bm
And I can't love you
G D
No I can't love you enough
A
The thoughts been eating away what's love
Bm
And I can't love you
G D A
No I can't love you enough
Chorus
Bm
So promise me you'll try
G D
You're cut away from something that I can't change
A
We're about to break
Bm
And even if you lie
G
The world will just forgive you
D A
But don't forget that our love is dead
Verse
Bm G
We're meant to be the strong ones
D A
Yet the things we think about are the things we can't control
Bm
But I can't help but struggle
G
(But I can't help but struggle)
D A
When the person that I am is the person I don't know
Pre-Chorus
Bm
I've broken in the brightest city
G D
And I fall apart to all the pretty songs
A
The thoughts been eating away once again
Bm
It's hard to talk when there's no meaning
G
I'm half awake and far from dreaming
D
And every time you call my name
A
I swear to you I'll come
Chorus
Bm
So promise me you'll try
G D
You're cut away from something that I can't change
A
We're about to break
Bm
And even if you lie
G
The world will just forgive you
D A
But don't forget that our love is dead
Bridge
Bm
I could be your heart
G
Reaching for the stars
D
Run away with me
A
We know what we are
Bm
So promise me you'll try
G D
To grab a hold of something to keep you safe
A
And I promise that I'll sing you to sleep
(A)
Bm
Believe me
G D
When they've been mistaken for a tragedy
A
It's obvious you're faking
Bm G D A
But you're not convincing me you're singing along
