Chords

[Verse 1]
Fsus2                Am7
 Dear reader, if it feels like a trap

         Gsus4
You're already in one

Fsus2          Am7
 Dear reader, get out your map

       Gsus4
Pick somewhere and just run

Fsus2          Am7
 Dear reader, burn all the files

 Gsus4
Desert all your past lives

Fsus2                Am7
 And if you don't recognize yourself

Gsus4
That means you did it right
[Chorus]
G                                Am             C
 Never take advice from someone who's falling apart

G                                Am7            C
 Never take advice from someone who's falling apart
[Verse 2]
C                                C/B
Now and then, she rereads the manuscript

   C/G                    C/F
Of the entire torrid affair

Fsus2          Am7
 Dear reader, bend when you can

Gsus4
Snap when you have to

Fsus2              Am7
 Dear reader, you don't have to answer

Gsus4
Just 'cause they asked you

Fsus2                Am7             Gsus4
 Dear reader, the greatest of luxuries is your secrets

Fsus2                  Am7
 Dear reader, when you aim at the devil

Gsus4
Make sure you don't miss
[Bridge]
          G                  Am         F
And the years passed like scenes of a show

        G                Am            F
The professor said to write what you know

            G           C            G             F
Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward

           G            Am           F
Then the actors were hitting their marks

          G               Am             F
And the slow dance was alight with the sparks

          G             C         G            F
And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score

         G             C           G           F
And at last, she knew what the agony had been for

              Gsus4                                         Fsus2
You wouldn't take my word for it if you knew who was talking

        Am7                  Gsus4
If you knew where I was walking

                   Fsus2  Am7  Gsus4
But I shine so bright
[Outro]
     C                               C/B
The only thing that's left is the manuscript

            C/G                          C/F
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

Fsus2                       Am7           Gsus4
  You should find another guiding light, guiding light

                   Fsus2  Am7  Gsus4
But I shine so bright

 C                            C/B
Now and then, I reread the manuscript

         C/G             C/F
But the story isn't mine anymore
