Chorded by: Clifton [email protected] This is by no means a definitive chord sheet or anything or even exactly how Jon might but this is how I play it and I think it's pretty accurate.

B5
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

Verse 1

B5        D5                    Asus2
Life is a gift like fresh cut roses

B5           D5                   Asus2
Cut from the branch and brought inside

         G            D5/A          G           D5/A
It's a slow contradiction, it's beauty in a vase

         G                    Asus4            B5
When our cords are cut that's when we start to die   (oh)

Lately death and life get so confusing I can't tell the difference here tonight Lately every breath feels like I'm kissing death And when time is dead I cease to be alive Chorus:

G        A           D5/A    G
If you hide yourself deep inside

D5/A    G
Deep inside

G    A             D5/A            G
In time you've got nothing left to hide

D5/A                    G
There's nothing left inside

G    A
Tonight, honey

Am                   G
I'm gonna break your heart

G        A               G
Mine was broken from the start

A                B5
Broken from the start    (Oh)

Verse 2 (Same as Verse 1) Choice is the only thing we're given For one to live another dies One road says, "Hello" The other says, "Goodbye" And the rose that you don't choose begin to die (Oh, oh) Chorus 2 (Same as Chorus 1 except where noted) If you hide yourself deep inside Deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide It dries up inside Tonight, honey I'm gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start

A               G
Broken from the start

A               G
Broken from the start

A               B5
Broken from the start

Verse 3 (Same as other verses except where noted) They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing They might pay a little to hear you cry If you do it long enough

F#m                 Bm            <- - - NOTE THIS CHANGE
They might even pay attention

But they still won't pay respect until you die, die Chorus 3 (Same as Chorus 1) If you hide yourself deep inside Deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide It’s all dead inside Tonight, honey I'm gonna break your heart Mine was broken from the start Broken from the start Enjoy.
