INTRO: E
[E]One day [B]your face will fade
[A]And your heart will [C#m]see new things
[E]Someday there'll [B]be no parade
[A]And you'll see what [C#m]life can bring
[E]You made me [B]wait for you
[A]While your brilliant [C#m]mind was seething
[E]I guess you didn't know [B]that you were
[A]The only thing that [C#m]kept me breathing
[E]I said [B]the things I said
[A]Not because I [C#m]meant to harm you
[E]Now you know that I'm [B]nearly dead
[A]I'll just bet that it [C#m]kinda warms you
CHORUS:
[B]You left me out on the [A]edge of the world
[B]You played your cards and your [A]power as the girl
[B]You watched with pride as your [A]flag unfurled
And [C#m]you watched me fall[B] from the edge of the [E]world
[E]Revenge is so [B]sweet they say
[A]But they don't tell you [C#m]that it eats you
[E]Your crowd is [B]gathered 'round today
[A]But someday they're the ones who'll [C#m]beat you
[E]I know that I'm [B]wrong about
[A]What came out of me [C#m]last time we talked
[E]But do you have to [B]shout it out
[A]That you think that I [C#m]would really walk
CHORUS
[E]You said I could never [B]be too intense
[A]It only proved that [C#m]I really loved you
[E]You said that it [B]all made sense
[A]That I would put no [C#m]one above you
[E]And now we're just one [B]slip on my part
[A]You've used that to [B]damn me
[E]If you felt the desper[B]ation in my heart
[A]Then maybe you wouldn't [C#m]slam me
CHORUS
[E]I pray you [B]never lose your face
[A]I hope it stays [C#m]brand new
[E]'Cause in this world [B]it's the place
[A]Where everybody [C#m]seems to love you
[E]Where I live it [B]doesn't mean a thing
[A]I'll be there [C#m]in forever
[E]If you ever [B]hear my heart sing
[A]You'll know [C#m]we're together
