Tone: [Ab]
Verse 1:
[Ab] I know that I xxxxed up when I
[Dbadd9] Told you I'm afraid of heights
[Ab] It made you wanna test my courage
[Eb] You made me climb a cliff at night
[Ab] You wanted me to jump and I declined
[Dbadd9] You called me a coward, I replied
[Ab] "I don't wanna live forever
[Eb] but I don’t wanna die tonight"
Chorus:
[Fm] When the black water ate you [Db]up
Like a sugar cube in a teacup
[Ab] I got the point you were makin'
[Eb] When I held my breath 'til you came up
[Dbadd9] [Ab]
Verse 2:
[Ab] There's been a run of fires downtown
[Dbadd9] On half built construction sites
[Ab] I know you never liked a townhouse
[Eb] I've seen you climb a crane at night
[Ab] If they ever catch you at it
[Dbadd9] I know you'd want me to be proud
[Ab] That you took a rich man's dream
[Eb] And brought it with you on your way down
Chorus:
[Fm] "Cause one man's dream is another man's [Db]death"
I remember when you told me [Ab]that
Didn't know what to say so I just [Eb]laughed
Now I know it's not funny
Interlude:
[Fm] [Ab]
Verse 3:
[Ab] I never rode a motorcycle
[Dbadd9] I've never smoked a cigarette
[Ab] I wanna live a vibrant life
[Eb] But I wanna die a boring death
[Ab] I know I was a disappointment
[Dbadd9] Know you wanted me to take a risk
[Ab] Not everybody gets the chance to live
[Eb] a life that isn't dangerous
Outro:
[Fm] You called me a cryba[Db]crybaby
But you're the one who got teary
[Ab] Tellin' me what you believe
[Eb] How we're stuck in entropy
[Db] How it hurts to hope
[Fm] Oh, it hurts to hope for more
[Ab] Oh, it hurts to hope the [Eb]future
Will be better than be[Dbadd9]before
