This starts with a piano solo, which I didn't tab,
but here are the chords in case you want 'em.
Intro: F# E Em B F# E Em B
Guitar comes in with: F# A B (3x) G D
Vs 1 (bass only):
O[F#]pen up your box of s[B]unshine
and s[F#]mile as confetti comes r[B]aining down on you
You f[F#]eel a lot like the good guy,[B] but do you know why
Everything's so blu[F#]e
Vs 2 (guitar comes in):
[F#]Well, love is fire and the co[B]als are barely burning
[F#]Cold fills the emptiness that fi[B]lls this empty place
[F#]I taught you the walk but then you r[B]an away from me
and that's not how it's supposed to be
Chorus:
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
I [F#]know there's something else it's supposed to[A] b[B]e
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
s[G]omething's killing m[D]e
Vs 3:
[F#]Tearful confessions have w[B]atered down and broken down
the [F#]chance for unrequited love to f[B]inally reach its wall
[F#]you're waiting for the ax to f[B]all
Can't you[Bsus4] see it lying on the ground?
Bridge:
[F#] [E] [Em] [B]
[F#]You could be the b[E]est one at c[Em]leaning up this me[B]ss
[B]Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one.
F# B (3x) G D
Chorus after bridge:
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
I [F#]know there's something else it's supposed to[A] b[B]e
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
s[G]omething's killing me
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
I [F#]know there's something else it's supposed to[A] b[B]e
[F#]I, I collide with[A] l[B]ove as an elusive state of mind
s[G]omething's something's killing, something's k[D]illing me
F# B F# B B/C (2x) F# B (over and over then end on F#)
