Gmaj7
God why you want to play with me,

Gmaj7
Can't you see I'm tumbling down,

Gmaj7
And like your favorite toy,

Gmaj7
Boy I'm tired of being thrown around.
[Verse 2]
Gmaj7
You lead me through this life of complication and delusion,

Gmaj7
So you drop it in my lap and slap me back towards confusion,

             Bm                        A                      G     Gmaj7
When it's so hard to decide whether to live or to die in this destiny,

             Bm                      A                          G       Em G Gmaj7
Tell me what would you say if at the end of the day it was just you and me.
[Verse 3]
Gmaj7
Smile away the fears that only seem to run me around,

Gmaj7
So you open up the door then the floor came crumbling down,

Gmaj7
I've only one or two dreams there worth losing,

Gmaj7
But they're unraveling, traveling down the road to ruin.
[Chorus 1]
        Bm                      A                             G     Gmaj7
And the harder I try the more I slip and I slide through this fantasy,

        Bm       A                G            A  Asus4 A
Oh, oh, all by myself I need your help to persevere,

D                A              Bm             G
But the same conclusions always greet me at my door,

Em             Gmaj7         A  Asus4  A
Wouldn't it be nice to fade away,

D         A                Bm                G
And maybe one day you will show me what went wrong,

Em          Gmaj7             Gmaj7
How did I become the unchosen one.
[Verse 4]
Gmaj7
So when the rain is just around my corner,

Gmaj7
Throw some sunshine down my way,

Gmaj7
And I'll hit you with a smile all the while my worries melt away.
[Chorus 2]
             Bm                     A                        G     Gmaj7
So won't you show me a sign as I continue to climb up this reality,

     Bm       A                G            A  Asus4 A
Ooh, all by myself I need your help to persevere,

D                A              Bm             G
And the same conclusions always greet me at my door,

Em             Gmaj7         A  Asus4  A
Wouldn't it be nice to fade away,

D         A                Bm                G
And maybe one day you will show me what went wrong,

Em             Gmaj7*             Gmaj7
So how did I become the unchosen one.
