[Intro]
F  Am  C  G  x2

[Verse]
                    F
Have you ever had a photo
                    Am
Something you could hold close
                 C
Filling you with false
         G
hope and lies?
I know you wish that
        F
I would let go
           Am
All I ever do though
                   C
Is wait for you to care
          G
more each time

[Pre-Chorus]
        F
What if everything we've done,
Am
everything we tried
C                           Dm
Everything we shared was in my
imagination?
  F                     Am
I try to make it whole, try
to make it right
C
Like I've got you there
       Dm
in the palm of my hand.

[Chorus]
F                       Am
  Maybe I don't have control
  of anything
C/G                       Dm
  Maybe the world doesn't spin
                      F
  'cause I want it to spin
F                       Am
  Maybe the king didn't die
  and make me king
C/G
All my life I taste it,
Dm                       F
all my life you take it away
