[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 1]
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 precipice

             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-ah

C      F
 Yeah, yeah

Am   G
 I'm all about you, ah-ah

C      F
 Yeah, yeah

Am   G
 I'm all about you
[Verse 2]
C                   G                           F
I used to think one day, we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
C                 G                          F
 And people would say, they're the lucky ones

C                 G                          F
I used to know my place was the spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
C                           G                       F
 'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
[Pre-Chorus]
G                  Am
Oh, a simple complication

          F              C
Miscommunications lead to fall-out

F
So many things that I wish you knew

G
So many walls that I can't break through
[Chorus 2]
C                 G                   F
Now I'm standing alone, in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
C                 G                   F
 And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Am                   G                      C
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                  F
When it all broke down

        Am                  G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
N.C. Next chapter! G Am C F G Am C F [Bridge]
C*
 This is looking like a contest

F
 Of who can act like they care less

Am                         G               F
But I liked it better when you were on my side

C
 The battle's in your hands now

F
 But I would lay my armor down

   Am                 G                F
If you said you would rather love than fight
[Bridge 2]
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 2]
C                 G                  F
But I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking
C                 G                   F
 And I'm dying to know, is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Am                   G                      C
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                   F
'Cause we're going down

        Am                  G                  F          C G
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
[Outro]
F
 And we're not speaking

C                 G                  F
 And I'm dying to know is it killing you
Like it's killing me, yeah?
Am                   G                      C
I don't know what to say since the twist of fate

                   F
'Cause we're going down

        Am                  G                  F
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now
N.C. The end!
