New versions

Capo: 2
Intro
[C]
Verse 1
[F]Fatefully,[C]Fatefully, I tried to [Am]pick my battles 'til the [G]battle picked me
[F]Misery,[C]Misery, like the [Am]war of words I [G]shouted in my sleep
[F]And you p[C]passed right by
[Am]I was in the alley sur[G]surrounded on all sides
[F]The knife c[C]cuts both ways
If the [Am]shoe fits, walk in it '[G]'til your high heels break
 
Chorus 1
[F]And I fell from the p[C]pedestal
Right down the [Am]rabbit hole
Long story [G]short, it was a bad time
[F]Pushed from the p[C]precipice
Clung to the [Am]nearest lips
Long story [G]short, it was the wrong guy
[F]Now I'm a[C]all about you
[Am]I'm a[G]all about you, ah-ah
[C]Yeah, y[F]yeah
[Am]I'm a[G]all about you, ah-ah
[C]Yeah, y[F]yeah
[Am]I'm a[G]all about you
 
Verse 2
[C]I used to think one [G]day, we'd tell the story of [F]us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
[C]And people would s[G]say, they're the lucky ones [F]
 
[C]I used to know my [G]place was the spot next to [F]you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
[C]'Cause lately I don't even k[G]know what page you're on [F]
 
Pre-Chorus
[G]Oh, a simple compli[Am]complication
Miscommuni[F]Miscommunications lead to[C]to fall-out
[F]So many things that I wish you knew
[G]So many walls that I can't break through
 
Chorus 2
[C]Now I'm standing a[G]alone, in a crowded r[F]room
And we're not speaking
[C]And I'm dying to k[G]know, is it killing y[F]you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
[Am]I don't know what to [G]say since the twist of [C]fate
When it all broke [F]down
And the [Am]story of us looks a [G]lot like a tragedy [F]now
Next chapter!
 
[G] [Am] [C] [F] [G] [Am] [C] [F]
 
Bridge
[C]This is looking like a contest
[F]Of who can act like they care less
[Am]But I liked it better when [G]you were on my s[F]side
[C]The battle's in your hands now
[F]But I would lay my armor down
If [Am]you said you would [G]rather love than [F]fight
 
Bridge 2
[F]Past me, [C]I wanna t[Am]tell you not to get l[G]lost in these petty things
[F]Your nemeses, [C]will defe[Am]defeat
themselves bef[G]before you get the chance to swing
[F]And he's p[C]passing by,
[Am]Rare as the glimmer of a [G]comet in the sky
[F]And he f[C]feels like home
If the [Am]shoe fits, walk in it [G]everywhere you go
 
Chorus 2
[C]But I'm standing a[G]alone in a crowded r[F]room
And we're not speaking
[C]And I'm dying to k[G]know, is it killing y[F]you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
[Am]I don't know what to [G]say since the twist of [C]fate
'Cause we're going [F]down
And the [Am]story of us looks a [G]lot like a tragedy [F]now, now, n[C]now[G]ow
 
Outro
[F]And we're not speaking
[C]And I'm dying to k[G]know is it killing y[F]you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
[Am]I don't know what to [G]say since the twist of [C]fate
'Cause we're going [F]down
And the [Am]story of us looks a [G]lot like a tragedy [F]now
N.C.
The end!
