Listen to the song to get some of the rhythmical aspects right ;)
Intro: Bm for about two bars
1. verse:
Bm
I would build walls
Em
For miles around me
A
Around anything that hurt
D
Any sensitive category
F#/C# Bm
Kept love at an arm's-length
Em
It was natural to me
F#/A# Bm
You did not agree
(same as first verse)
2. verse:
You said things like "Unhealthy"
And I took on the task
Of changing my pattern
All you did was ask
And the walls all came crashing
At a welcoming speed
I was convinced you'd never hurt me
Bridge/Pre-chorus:
Bm A
And I used to cling to the back of your mind
G
But I must have let go
F#/A#
At the moment in time
Bm A
When she offered careless physical joy
G
Both bouncing my heart around
F#/A#
Like a cheap rubber toy
Chorus:
Bm
And after countless
A/C#
Hours
D
Of crying
Em F#/C# Bm
Trying to forgive you
A/C#
Believe you
D
Grow a spine and leave you
Em
Grieve you
F# D
I've come to this conclusion,
(same as first verse)
3. verse
No one prepares you when choosing to stay
How to dare share a bed again
Keep demons at bay
She took something precious
That was just meant for me
Not for her eyes to see
(same as first bridge/pre-chorus)
Bridge/Pre-chorus
And I used to cling to the back of your mind
But you must have let go
At the moment in time
When she offered careless physical joy
Both bouncing my heart around
Like a cheap rubber toy
(same as first chorus)
Chorus:
And after countless
Hours
Of crying
Trying to forgive you
Believe you
Grow a spine and leave you
Grieve you (after the Em you take the F# here, even though the lyrics are a "line short")
And after countless
Hours
Of crying
Trying to forgive you
Believe you
Grow a spine and leave you
Grieve you
I've come to this conclusion,
Outro:
D G
After all the years you invested in me
Bm A
All the love, tears, and possibilities
Em F#/A#
I realize that if the tables were turned around
Bm
You wouldn't leave me now.
