This starts with a piano solo, which I didn't tab,  
but here are the chords in case you want 'em. 
 
Intro:  F#  E  Em  B  F#  E  Em  B   
 
guitar comes in with:  F#   A B  (3x)  G  D 
 
 
Vs 1 (bass only): 
 
 F#                  B 
Open up your box of sunshine 
     F#                      B 
and smile as confetti comes raining down on you 
     F#                          B 
You feel a lot like the good guy, but do you know why 
                   F# 
Everything's so blue 
 
 
Vs 2 (guitar comes in): 
 
F#                           B 
Well, love is fire and the coals are barely burning 
F#                              B 
Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place 
F#                                  B 
I taught you the walk but then you ran away from me 
  
and that's not how it's supposed to be 
 
 
Chorus: 
F#               A B 
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind 
  F#                                          A B 
I know there's something else it's supposed to be 
F#               A B                                  
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind  
 G                   D  
something's killing me 
 
 
Vs 3: 
F#                        B                           
Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down 
    F#                             B 
the chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall 
F#                            B 
you're waiting for the ax to fall 
         Bsus4 
Can't you see it lying on the ground? 
 
 
Bridge: 
 
F#  E   Em   B   
 
F#                E           Em                B 
You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess 
B 
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one. 
 
F#  B (3x)  G   D 
 
Chorus after bridge: 
F#               A B 
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind 
  F#                                          A B 
I know there's something else it's supposed to be 
F#               A B                                  
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind  
 G                     
something's killing me 
 
F#               A B 
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind 
  F#                                          A B 
I know there's something else it's supposed to be 
F#               A B                                  
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind  
 G                                            D  
something's something's killing, something's killing me
