[Ab]
I know that I fucked up when I told you I'm afraid of heights
It made you want to test my courage
You made me climb a cliff at night
You wanted me to jump and I declined
You called me a coward, I replied
I don't want to live forever, but I don't want to die tonight
When the black water [Bb] ran you out
Like a sugar cube in a teacup
[Eb] I got the point you were making
When I held my breath till you [Ab] came out
There's been a run of fires downtown
On half-built construction sites
I know you never liked a [Eb] townhouse
I've seen you climb a [Ab] crane at night
If they ever catch you at it
I know you'd want me to be proud
That you took a rich man's dream
And brought it with you on your [Ab] way down
Cause one man's dream is another [Bb] man's death
I remember when you [Ab] told me that
Didn't know what to say so I [Eb] just laughed
But now I know it's not [Ab] funny
I never rode a motorcycle
I never smoked a cigarette
I want to live a vibrant life
But I want to die a boring death
I know I was a disappointment
Know you wanted me to take a risk
Not everybody gets the chance to live
[Eb] A life that isn't dangerous
[Fm] You called me [Ab] crybaby
But you're the one who got teary
Telling me [Eb] what you believe
How we're stuck in entropy
Oh it hurts to hope
[Ab] Oh it hurts to hope for more
Oh it [Eb] hurts to hope the future
Will be better [Ab] than before
I know that I fucked up when I told you I'm afraid of heights
It made you want to test my courage
You made me climb a cliff at night
You wanted me to jump and I declined
You called me a coward, I replied
I don't want to live forever, but I don't want to die tonight
When the black water [Bb] ran you out
Like a sugar cube in a teacup
[Eb] I got the point you were making
When I held my breath till you [Ab] came out
There's been a run of fires downtown
On half-built construction sites
I know you never liked a [Eb] townhouse
I've seen you climb a [Ab] crane at night
If they ever catch you at it
I know you'd want me to be proud
That you took a rich man's dream
And brought it with you on your [Ab] way down
Cause one man's dream is another [Bb] man's death
I remember when you [Ab] told me that
Didn't know what to say so I [Eb] just laughed
But now I know it's not [Ab] funny
I never rode a motorcycle
I never smoked a cigarette
I want to live a vibrant life
But I want to die a boring death
I know I was a disappointment
Know you wanted me to take a risk
Not everybody gets the chance to live
[Eb] A life that isn't dangerous
[Fm] You called me [Ab] crybaby
But you're the one who got teary
Telling me [Eb] what you believe
How we're stuck in entropy
Oh it hurts to hope
[Ab] Oh it hurts to hope for more
Oh it [Eb] hurts to hope the future
Will be better [Ab] than before
