Tom: G#m
B
i'm not well
as you can tell
G#m C# B E
by the way i haven't looked you in the eye
Em
and i'm about to lie
B
and say i'm fine
Bmaj7 B7 E
but inside, you and i know that's not true
D# D#7 E
but it's either this or let my burdens weigh on you
Em
and that i just can't do
[Chorus]
B
so i'll choose for the both of us
and you'll just go along because
E
you've trusted me for no good reason
Em
here i am committing treason
B
i'll force the last page of our story
B7
one more boring allegory
E
i hope to god you'll rise above me
Em
i always bite the hand that loves me
G B
and mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all"
E Em
i'll watch you fall
[Verse 2]
B
and i'm aware
that it's not fair
G#m D# B E
to bring you here, then send you on your way
Em
you had so much to say
B
and to ask
B7 E
like "why am i not cut out for the task
D#7 E
of loving you forever, of holding you and never wanting less?"
Em
i can take a guess;
[Chorus]
B
see, i could choose for the both of us
and you'd just go along because
E
you're trusting me for no good reason
Em
you love no matter what the season
B
and i'd force the ending of our story
B7
you're my favourite allegory
E
then hope to god that you'll forgive me
Em
my mistakes will long outlive me
G#m G B
and mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all"
E Em
i'll watch us fall
[Bridge]
F#
and i don't know if this makes it any easier
G#m G B F7
perhaps you'll find some comfort when i say
E F#7
you and i are nothing more than meteors
G#m G B F#7
never meant to live long past today
E Em
Mmm mmmm
[Chorus]
B
so i'll choose for the both of us
and you'll just go along because
E
you've trusted me against your judgement
Em
you deserve someone who doesn't
B
force the last page of your story
no more boring allegories
E
hope to god you'll rise above me
Em G#m
though you'll always be part of me
G B
mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all"
F7 E
i'll watch you fall
Em
now watch me fall
