[Verse 1]
Em
I have secrets to keep
Am                          D
Flames that would need some tending
Em
And these hopeless delights
Am                    D
They all have hopeless endings
G                  Em           D
I do not know what less I could ask for
C         D                  Em
So I will wait till whatever end

[Verse 2]
Em
If I cannot have you
Am               D
Then anyone will do
     Em
You want me almost enough
Am               D
Almost enough to take me
G          D       Em          D        C
You gave a name to my greatest pain and now
       D                    Em
I will claim it to whatever end

Is all that I need
   Am                   D
So grant me the rest I long for
Em
Take me for what I am
    Am                 D
For I cannot take this no more
G            D      Em         D
Love doesn't die unless I will kill it
C         D              C
So I will go to whatever end


[Chorus]

I will burn all the hopes I was tending
Am
Keep on walking the road never-ending
Em
I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that
D
I was not meant for someone like you
C
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
Am
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
Em
And for all that I do, I can't help it
D
You will not fall for someone like me

C D


[Verse 3]
Em
You come just like a storm
Am                      D
And wrap me around your finger
Em
Add insult to my injury
    Am                      D
And watch how the pain doth linger
Gm
You're still a thing to behold
    Cm                 F
But I'm not the one to hold you
G
Last time was the last time
     Cm                    F
I'll leave like a thief, I have to
Bb           F     Gm          F
Love doesn't die unless I will kill it
Eb        F              Eb
So I will go to whatever end


[Chorus]

I will burn all the hopes I was tending
Cm
Keep on walking the road never-ending
Gm
I will learn what I'm worth and I'll know that
F
I was not meant for someone like you
Eb
Should've known that the gown wouldn't be white
Cm
And the burden of you wouldn't be light
Gm
And for all that I do, I can't help it
F
You will not fall for someone like me

Eb F


[Bridge]
B                          Db
You wouldn't hearken to my heart
                       Ebm
You wouldn't open your arms
    B                                Db
And I couldn't tear down all of your walls
                         Ebm
I couldn't shine in your dark
