[Intro]
F#m D A (x2)

[Verse 1]
F#m                     D
I’d set fire to the world,
                   A(x2)
if it made you feel safe
F#m                 D
And even when I was cold,
                    A(x2)
oh I hoped you would stay
     F#m
Oh I heard your voice,
           D      A(x2)
 when I needed li——ght
         F#m
And if I had a choice,
D                A(x2)
you would be mine,
I’ve been here the whole time

[Hook]
F#m D                A
I—— hate the way you make me feel
        Bm
Oh I wish you weren’t real
       F#m D             A
and I—— hope one day you see
yourself
          Bm
How I see you now
       F#m D          A
and I—— wish you’d see——
        Bm
That you’re the better part of me
F#m D*                       A
I——  hate that I want you to want
me

[Verse 2]
F#m                    D
      I wrote it all down,
                A (x2)
and then set it a flame
F#m
      Cause I don’t think
              D
      I could bear,
               A (x2)
you not feeling the same
                     F#m
Caused you pain from the start
        D             A (x2)
And that makes it wor——se
Oooo
                 F#m
Cause he still has your heart
        D        A (x2)
And seeing it hur——ts
Oh I knew you first
