[Intro]
Eb Ab
[Verse 1]
Eb Ab Eb
I held on so long
Ab Eb
To what I've wanted
Ab Eb Ab
You to become
[Verse 2]
Eb Ab Eb
I see that you are not
Ab Eb
What I dreamed you to be
Ab Eb
That's not your fault
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
See, long a-go, I made up my mind
Ab Eb
She would be the love of my life
Ab Cm
Now I see ignorance is bliss
Bb Cm
See, I fell in love with an idea in my head
Ab Eb Ab
That's not who she is
Eb Ab
[Verse 3]
Eb Ab Eb
See, I, I take a thought
Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab
And I'll let it grow 'til underneath it's weight I am caught
Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb
When all I saw was a glimpse of who you might be
Ab Eb
I laid down these bricks
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Building walls, so lovely and strong
Ab Eb
There's no way, no chance I am wrong
Ab Cm
Our castle stands, and I know just where she'll fit
Bb Cm
She'll be with me here in my arms, I'm crazy in love
Ab Eb
With who I think she is
Cm Bb Eb Ab
Cm Bb Eb Ab
[Bridge]
Cm Bb
When I finally get to see you
Eb Ab
I latch onto the hope I see in you
Cm
And I won't let go
Bb Eb Ab
I'll say look there's a chance what I hoped for might actually be so
Cm Bb
But I cannot justify this
Eb Ab
Small suspicion that slowly is creeping in
Cm Bb
That our castle walls are shaking
Eb Ab Bb
I fight the fact maybe I was mista-ken
[Verse 4]
Eb Ab Eb
And I hate when I knew
Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab
That nothing was real in all that I had be-lieved to be true
Eb Ab Eb
And the walls came crumbling down
Ab Eb Ab Eb
And all I could think was where is all that wasted time now
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
See, long a-go, I made up my mind
Ab Eb
She would be the love of my life
Ab Cm
Now I see I never really knew her one bit
Bb Cm
See, I fell in love with an idea in my head
Ab Eb
But that's not who she is
Ab Eb
No, that's not who she is
Ab Eb
That's not who she is
