[Verse 1]
D/F# A/EChrist on the F#mcross, Bm/F#no more F#mroom, G/Djust slide A/Eoff
D/F# A/EMeet on the F#mwire, Bm/F#no more F#mlines, G/Dcan't climb A/Ehigher
So Gfrom your new plateau you writhe and Await
For something real to shake your Gbones
To turn you back into a Aperson
[Instrumental]
| D A | F#m Bm | F#m G | A A4 A |
[Verse 2]
D You Asublet the sF#mpace, Bmcut your F#mcosts, Gflipped off AfateA4 A
D And Awatched while she F#mpacked, Bmcried and F#mcried but Gno come AbackA4 A
You Gfigured you could sit around and Await
For love this real to just pop Gup
To fall from trees, to ride on Arainstorms
[Chorus]
G Convinced it was Dworth it
G You swore it was Bmworth it, Ayeah, he-Ghey
You said it was Dworth it through the Afirst hitA4 A
[Bridge]
Em But back aDmongst the dirt and sBmpent Agrass
Em The empty Dcoffee cups, the Agreen glass
Em The basement Dbrokering and Bmside Abets
Em The puzzle Dpieces in the Atool shed
[Pre-Chorus]
G I think you can Dbuild it
G I think you can Bmbuild it, Ayeah, he-Ghey
I know you can Dbuild it cause I Abuilt it, yeah, he-A7hey
[Chorus]
G Convinced it was Dworth it
G You swore it was Bmworth it, Ayeah, he-Ghey
You said it was Dworth it through the Afirst hitA4 A
GBack before you Dmoved so fast
And Gtraced your veins with sBmplintered Aglass
Your Glazy eyes aDligned to find a Apurpose, a purpose
[Solo]
