Chords

[Chorus]
               G#m               E
You can't have glory without the pain

                F#                 G#m
You can't have freedom without the chains

        G#m                 E
It's a fragile existence, a delicate system

     F#                 G#m
This life is a balancing game
[Verse 1]
   G#m                            E
I thought I could tip the scales, cheat the game
Have the sun without the rain
 F#
Take your love and not exchange

   G#m
My heart for yours, I guess that it's me to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
 G#m
So this is what I've found

          E
From the bridges I've burned down

        F#
That it all comes back around

    G#m
Now I know
[Chorus]
               G#m               E
You can't have glory without the pain

                F#                 G#m
You can't have freedom without the chains

        G#m                 E
It's a fragile existence, a delicate system

     F#                 G#m
This life is a balancing game
[Verse 2]
 G#m
So then I called you up to make amends

  E
Said "take me back" and you said "yes"

  F#
Now I know just how it ends

   G#m
You played the game like me, it was all pretend
[Pre-Chorus]
  G#m
So this is what I've learned

          E
You can't take and not return

         F#
Because one day you'll get burned

     G#m
And now I know
[Chorus]
               G#m               E
You can't have glory without the pain

                F#                 G#m
You can't have freedom without the chains

        G#m                 E
It's a fragile existence, a delicate system

     F#                 G#m
This life is a balancing game
