(intro 2x)  C Am Em G  

C 
I sold my soul for diamonds 
Am 
And reason for acclaim 
Em 
Been begging for white angels 
G 
To blow my mind away 

C 
Been growing funny flowers 
Am 
Where roses never grew 
Em 
I stayed awake all night 
G 
When I woke up from dreams 
Of me and you 

Dm                          Em     F 
I tried to take the sun and I went blind 
Dm                          Em   F     G 
God help me to erase you from my mind 
            F 
I'm growing cold 

And the night is yet to come 
                  C 
Anyone tell me is this 

                      G 
The way it's meant to be 
            Am 
Lost and isolated 
	G        F 
I'm way too complicated 
	    G       C 
For you to lean on me 

		  G 
I play a losing game 
		  Dm 
I cried in desperation 
     Em     F 
Mental devastation 
			C       G 
I'm blowing out the flame
 

C 
Self-pity gave me shelter 
Am 
I always hid away in vice 
Em 
Dyslexic, torn and tattered 
G                        F 
I tried to read the signs 

C 
You never tried to take a look 
Am 
At the one I'd have died to be 
Em  				G 
Now it seems you don't see me at all 

Dm 
Was it all worth it 
	 Em	F 
Visions holding sway 
Dm			      Em       F     G 
When the real thing got lost along the way 
     F		      C 
Yes anyone tell me is this 

                      G 
The way it's meant to be 
            Am 
Lost and isolated 
	G        F 
I'm way too complicated 
	    G       C 
For you to lean on me 

		  G 
I play a losing game 
		  Dm 
I cried in desperation 
     Em     F 
Mental devastation 
			C       Ab 
I'm blowing out the flame
