[Intro] C [Verse 1]
F         C           Am                       G
Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles 'til the battle picked me

F       C         Am             G
 Misery, like the war of words I shouted in my sleep

F        C
 And you passed right by

Am                     G
I was in the alley, surrounded on all sides

F          C
 The knife cuts both ways

       Am                     G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til your high heels break
[Chorus]
F                    C
 And I fell from the pedestal

               Am
Right down the rabbit hole

           G
Long story short, it was a bad time

F                C
 Pushed from the precipices

             Am
Clung to the nearest lips

           G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

F        C
 Now I'm all about you

Am   G
 I'm all about you, ah

C      F           G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    C
I'm all about you, ah

      F           Em  C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
F        C         Am               G
Actually, I always felt I must look better in the rear view

F           C       Am                G
 Missing me, at the golden gates they once held the keys to

F       C
 When I dropped my sword

  Am                         G
I threw it in the bushes and knocked on your door

F       C
 And we live in peace

       Am                   G/B
But if someone comes at us, this time, I'm ready
[Chorus]
F                       C
 'Cause I fell from the pedestal

               Am
Right down the rabbit hole

           G
Long story short, it was a bad time

F                C
 Pushed from the precipices

             Am
Clung to the nearest lips

           G
Long story short, it was the wrong guy

F        C
 Now I'm all about you

Am   G
 I'm all about you, ah

C      F           G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    C
I'm all about you
[Bridge]
Am  Em           Dm
 No more keepin' score

           Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)

   Em          Dm
No more tug of war

           G                  Am
Now I just know there's more (Know there's more)

   Em           Dm
No more keepin' score

           Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you warm)

Am      Em              F
 And my waves meet your shore

         G
Ever and evermore
[Verse 3]
F        C        Am                  G
 Past me, I wanna tell you not to get lost in these petty things

F            C        Am                G
 Your nemeses, will defeat themselves before you get the chance to swing

F         C
 And he's passing by

Am                       G
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky

F       C
 And he feels like home

       Am                    G
If the shoe fits, walk in it everywhere you go
[Chorus]
C                    F
 And I fell from the pedestal

               G
Right down the rabbit hole

           C
Long story short, it was a bad time

                F
Pushed from the precipices

                   Em
Climbed right back up the cliff

           C
Long story short, I survived

        F              G
Now I'm all about you, ah

    C
I'm all about you, ah

    F             Em
I'm all about you, ah

    C
I'm all about you, ah

      F           Em
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    C
I'm all about you

      F           G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

    C
I'm all about you
[Outro] F C
Am          G                  F    C
 Long story short, it was a bad time

Am          G           N.C.
 Long story short, I survived
