Tuning: Standard EADGBE
 
 
 
[Intro]
 
C Am Em G x2
 
 
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
 
 
[Chorus]
                      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
 
 
[Chorus]
                      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
 
 
[Solo]
 
A#   C Dm    Am     C
 
A#   C Dm    Gm     Am
 
		      C
Yes anyone tell me is this
 
 
[Chorus]
                      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    C
I'm blowing out the flame
