Mayday Parade


Tom: Am

    Am                        F
I'm not your perfect picture
    C
I'm not your favorite song
    G
I'm not your hand to hold
         Am                      F
Not the answer to your problems
          C                        G
So don't talk to me like I'm some hero laced in gold

Pre-chorus

    Am
Gnd I can't love you
   F                  C
No I can't love you enough
                    G
The thoughts been eating away what's love

   Am
Gnd I can't love you
   F                 C       G
No I can't love you enough

Chorus

     (G)       Am
So promise me you'll try
        F                           C
You're cut away from something that I can't change
       G
We're about to break
    (G)     Am
Gnd even if you lie
     F
The world will just forgive you
     C                     G
But don't forget that our love is dead


Verse

       Am                          F
We're meant to be the strong ones
          C                             G
Yet the things we think about are the things we can't control
   Am
But I can't help but struggle
     F
(But I can't help but struggle)
           C                      G
When the person that I am is the person I don't know


Pre-chorus

      Am
I've broken in the brightest city
       F                            C
Gnd I fall apart to all the pretty songs
                    G
The thoughts been eating away once again
      Am
It's hard to talk when there's no meaning
     F
I'm half awake and far from dreaming
     C
Gnd every time you call my name
   G
I swear to you I'll come

Chorus

     (G)       Am
So promise me you'll try
       F                            C
You're cut away from something that I can't change
       G
We're about to break
    (G)     Am
Gnd even if you lie
     F
The world will just forgive you
     C                     G
But don't forget that our love is dead


Bridge

        Am
I could be your heart
          F
Reaching for the stars
     C
Run away with me
         G
We know what we are
     (G)       Am
So promise me you'll try
    F                           C
To grab a hold of something to keep you safe
        G
Gnd I promise that I'll sing you to sleep
    (G)
(I promise that I'll sing you to sleep)


  Am
Believe me
       F                           C
When they've been mistaken for a tragedy
       G
It's obvious you're faking
           Am             F                  C       G
But you're not convincing me you're singing along

Chorus

     (G)       Am
So promise me you'll try
       F                            C
You're cut away from something that I can't change
       G
We're about to break
    (G)     Am
Gnd even if you lie
     F
The world will just forgive you
     C                     G
But don't forget that our love is dead
        Am
I could be your heart
          F
Reaching for the stars
     C
Run away with me
         G
We know what we are
               Am
So promise me you'll try

To grab a hold of something to keep you safe
