*for the other intros use same chord positions and strumming [Verse 1]
E               E9sus
If melody is my destiny

            C#m9    C#m7 D6sus2
Then what's left of me

D6sus2           E
I'll give to you

   E
If next to me

                E9sus
Is all that you need to be

                     C#m9    C#m7 D6sus2
Would you settle for fantasy

D6sus2                     E
If it's the best you could do
[Verse 2]
      Bsus/G#
Can I have my cake

      A(add9)
Can I have you too

          Bsus/G#
Would you follow me

        C#m9*   C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to

          F#m11
Would the world between us

F#m11
Break these ties

      Bsus/G#
We've work so hard to realize

      F#7
Can a postcard say

       F#7
What I see in your eyes

A(add9)      B9sus      E
Could I ever break away
[Intro 2] E E9sus C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2 E [Verse 3]
E
Would I be satisfied

         E9sus
And find peace inside

        C#m9    C#m7 D6sus2
Rolling half my life

                  E
Over broken white lines

      Bsus/G#
Can I have my cake

      A(add9)
Can I have you too

          Bsus/G#
Would you follow me

        C#m9*   C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to

       F#m11
Will I wake up one morning

F#m11
And see your face

     Bsus/G#
And streaks on the window

Bsus/G#
That the rainstorm makes

          F#7
Could you bear all the weight

         F#7
And the strength that it takes

A(add9)      B9sus      E
Could I ever break away
[Intro 3] E E9sus C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2 E
E E          D/E D/E    C#m9 C#m7 D6sus2 E/G E
 Could I ever break away
[Verse 4]
      Bsus/G#
Can I have my cake

Can I have you too

          Bsus/G#
Would you follow me

        C#m9*   C#m7* C#m9* C#m7*
Could I ask you to

          F#m11
Would the world between us

F#m11
Break these ties

      Bsus/G#
We've work so hard to realize

      F#7
Can a postcard say

       F#7
What I see in your eyes

A(add9)      B9sus      E
Could I ever break away
[Ending]
E              E9sus
  Could I ever break away

Csus2 Dsus  E(add9)
Away, away, away
