Chords

[Verse 1]

G
  I know that I fucked up when I

Cadd9
  Told you I'm afraid of heights

G
  It made you wanna test my courage

D
  You made me climb a cliff at night

G
  You wanted me to jump and I declined

Cadd9
  You called me a coward, I replied

G
  "I don't wanna live forever

D
  but I don't wanna die tonight"

[Chorus]

Em                             C
  When the black water ate you up

Like a sugar cube in a teacup

G
  I got the point you were makin'

D
  When I held my breath 'til you came up

Cadd9 G [Verse 2]

G
  There's been a run of fires downtown

Cadd9
  On half built construction sites

G
  I know you never liked a townhouse

D
  I've seen you climb a crane at night

G
  If they ever catch you at it

Cadd9
  I know you'd want me to be proud

G
  That you took a rich man's dream

D
  And brought it with you on your way down

[Chorus]

Em                                        C
  "Cause one man's dream is another man's death"

                              G
  I remember when you told me that

                                    D
  Didn't know what to say so I just laughed

Now I know it's not funny Em G [Verse 3]

G
  I never rode a motorcycle

Cadd9
  I've never smoked a cigarette

G
  I wanna live a vibrant life

D
  But I wanna die a boring death

G
  I know I was a disappointment

Cadd9
  Know you wanted me to take a risk

G
  Not everybody gets the chance to live

D
  A life that isn't dangerous

[Outro]

Em                     C
  You called me a crybaby

But you're the one who got teary

G
  Tellin' me what you believe

D
  How we're stuck in entropy

C
  How it hurts to hope

Em
  Oh, it hurts to hope for more

G                          D
  Oh, it hurts to hope the future

                        Cadd9
  Will be better than before
