      Vera Blue - Pedestal/Cover Me

[Intro]
C#m7  B   F#
C#m7  B   F#

[Verse 1]
        C#m7 B           F#sus4
I put myself  up on your shelf
            C#m7 B            F#sus4
You gave it all   and nothing else
    C#m7                 B                F#sus4
But no one can live up to these high expectations of mine
    C#m7                         B            F#sus4
But that doesn't mean that you resist the temptation to try
       C#m7 B             F#         C#m7  B      F#
I remember    just how it felt to be loved, to be held

[Pre-chorus]
C#m7                  B               F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
    C#m7                    B                   F#sus4        F#
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

[Chorus]
E       B    D#m                     G#m             E        B      D#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E       B   D#m                 G#m               E        B     D#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

[Verse 2]
             C#m7  B             F#sus4
Don't act surprised when we both know
              C#m7 B           F#sus4
It's just the way,  the way it goes
C#m7              B                F#sus4
I never wanted to leave, but never needed to stay
C#m7                    B                 F#sus4       F#
The harder I tried to keep, the harder it was to change

[Chorus]
E       B    D#m                     G#m             E        B      D#m
I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down
E       B   D#m                 G#m               E        B     D#m
Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

[Interlude]
E        B    F#
E        G#m  D#m

[Bridge]
      E           B       F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
          E               G#m     D#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me
      E           B       F#
If we fall, if we fall on you
          E               G#m     D#m
Would you fall, would you fall on me

[Pre-chorus]
C#m7                  B               F#sus4
No one can live up to these high expectations of mine
    C#m7                    B                   F#sus4
Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

[Interlude]
F#

[Verse 3]
      F#        D#m
Cover me, every piece
       G#m              F#
When I can't control myself
           D#m        A#m  B
I wouldn't be with anybody else
      F#        D#m
Cover me, never lead
           G#m          F#
I might be strong on my own
               D#m              A#m      B
But you're the better half that makes me whole
      F#         D#m
Cover me in your truth
       G#m             F#
Forget all the perfect words
          D#m          A#m     B
It's everyday that you show me proof
        F#           D#m
Forgive me, like you do
       G#m        F#
When I try, but I fail
         D#m           A#m       B
When I'm none of these things to you
