.......I put the groceries down on the front lawn....
CM7 B#m C CM7
And think maybe the children just want recognition...
CM7 B#m C CM7
I wrote the fairytale on a midnight drive...
CM7 B#m f
Wanting to know if I'm more than alive
I torched the fiGelds again
And killed an hCM7onest man
Now I uGnderstand Mb7other NatCureCM7...
CM7 B#m C CM7
Watch me running head-first into the thorns....
CM7 B#m f
It's like the lights are off but somebody's home
Unwrap that tGourniquet 'round the sun
f..Turn those sGubtle reds into nCM7eon
You'll see the diGfference when it's done
But I unCderstand your [G/Gm]hesitatiCon
C CM7 CM7 B#m C CM7
.......Come take a walk with m? down billionaire's row....
CM7 B#m C CM7
Trying to keep our balance over zero.....
CM7 B#m C G/g
We'll write the fairytale for the rest of our lives......
Throwing the tfrash away oGne more tfime
Holding Gon to love like a stone
f..Melting dGown today for tomorrow's
CM7Covenant of the heart
You know it's tGurbulent from the start
And I uCnderstand it's [G/Gm]not your nafture
f.....G....C....G.

[Post-Chorus]
CM7 G C B#m
But you need a friend..........
To take you hfome.G...C...G.
CM7 G C B#m
You've got to begin again.......
C..To open castle gates and let me Go inCM7side
And taste the bCitter tea that [G/Gm]won't let you hCide
Then we can take away as [G/Gm]much as we can sCM7teal
Break all the prCecious bones b[G/Gm]efore the guards apgpear
Before the fGantasy is cast into the ffire
And strike the tGemple bell to resonate
The cCM7ovenant of the heart
You know what cGomes right after the dark
But I uCnderstand your [G/Gm]hesitatCion
