[Verse 1]
      C
Now I know I’m a
walking contradiction,
v
and it shows
      C
Got a history of
being
in control
I’m aware that I
could end up
     Am7    F
here alone
        C
Then we spoke,
I had a
F
backbone made of
C            Am7
glass and it broke
      F
Now I stay up
and I
wait here by
    C
the phone
          F
If you’re ready
all I mean
            Am7 C F
is we could go
Am7
I never craved
          F
someone’s attention
Am7
As much as yours,
thought I
       F
should mention that

[Chorus]
C
I bet all my money
that I will
F
lose to you and hand
you my life
Am7
Here’s to hoping you’re
              F
worth all the time
C
I might barely know
you
but still
      F
Don’t love you yet
but
probably will
Am7
Turn me into something
tragic
F
Just for you I let
           C
it happen
F            Am7
I let it happen

The backbone of the song is Am7 – F – C – F (vi7 – IV – I – IV in C major). In solfa, that is lah – fah – doh – fah. Practise these 4 changes until they feel natural and you can play most of it.
