1st Verse:
Bbadd9
This old cracked ceiling
Gm9
Is creeking at you
Bbadd9
It seems to know the feeling
Gm9
Of breaking like you do
Fadd9 Eb(6)9
You came here to test yourself
Fadd9 Eb(6)9
To take it all on
Fadd9 Gm9
Instead you™ve made a mess of yourself
Fadd9 Eb(6)9
You™ve been having too much fun
Bridge:
Fadd9 Eb(6)9 /d
And now you™re fighting strangers
/c Eb(6)9 /d
And shadows on the wall
/c Eb(6)9 /d
And voices in your head
/c Fadd9 Bbadd9
Saying ™Why am I here at all?
2nd verse:
You™ve ruled out your choices
Like the loyalist you are
And drowned all those noises
Strumming your guitar
Wrapped in cold comfort
A brief and short-lived kick
Another can of Export
That ought to do the trick
Bridge:
Cause she used to come home early
Just to be with you
And now it™s getting later
And there™s really nothing you can do
Chorus:
Fadd9 Eb(6)9
I came here to save you
Gm9 Fadd9
Though I know I never could
Eb6(9) Fadd9
I don™t wanna change you
Gm9 Fadd9
I just wish you understood
Eb(6)9 /d
That you are just a puppet
/c Eb(6)9 /d
In a poetess™ play
/c Eb(6)9 /d
And it™s time to cut the strings now
/c Fadd9 Bbadd9
It™s time to walk away
3rd verse:
Another early hour
Another painful kiss
Climb back up in your tower
Go dream of what you miss
You came here to calm yourself
To set yourself free
In stead you™re alarmed as hell
Cause now you know you never will be
Bridge:
This is your illusion
These are your dreams
This is your life
And it™s never what it seems
Chorus:
I came here to save you
Though I know I never could
I don™t wanna change you
I just wish you understood
That you are just a puppet
In a poetess’ play
And it™s time to cut the strings now
It™s time to walk away
