           Abadd9            Dbadd9       Abadd9 Ebsus2 
 Well, you came on like some blazing supernova
 
        Abadd9                Dbadd9         Ebsus4 
 With a flame that burned so brightly in the sky
 
          Bbm9             Dbadd9               Bbm11 Dbadd9 
 Then you woke up and your long white night was over
 
         Bbm11                 Db                Abadd9 Ab/Eb Eb 
 And you cursed the world that dared to pass you by
 
            Abadd9             Dbadd9            Abadd9 Ebsus2 
 So now you blame the ones who love you for your sorrows
 
         Abadd9          Dbadd9           Ebsus4 Eb 
 Dealing dirty while you steal the higher ground
 
         Bbm9            Dbadd9        Bbm9          Dbadd9 
 But you cheated and you lied and life took you for a ride
 
            Bbm9            Dbadd9         Abadd9 Ebsus4 Eb7 
 Now you?re standing on the upside looking down
 
     Db          F7sus4/C   
 And O, the hero in disguise
 
                   Db    
 Believing his own alibis
 
     Eb7sus4  Eb7          Edim      Db/F 
 You run so scared, you?re standing still
 
                   Db           
 I know you are, I know you will
 
        Abadd9           Dbadd9            Abadd9 Eb7 
 Be the first to call it quits and run for cover
 
 
            Abadd9          Dbadd9         Ebsus4 
 While your little world is crumbling all around
 
         Bbm11             Db              Bbm9         Db  
 But you punked out on yourself, you can?t blame nobody else
 
                     Bbm9            Db             Abadd9 Ebsus4 Eb7 
 And now that you?re standing on the upside looking down
 
 |Fadd9 |Bbadd9 |Fmaj7 |C |
 
 
 |Fadd9 |Bbadd9 |Csus4 |C |
 
 
 |Gm7 |Bbadd9 |F |Bbadd9 |
 
 
 |Gm7 |Bbadd9 |F | C |
 
 
     Db               F7sus4/C    
 And O, the heartache of the thief
 
                       Db            
 Strung out on his own stash of grief
 
   Eb7sus4  Eb7    Edim      Db/F 
 A line for you, a flake for me
 
                      Db     
 But now it?s ancient history
 
        Abadd9         Dbadd9              Abadd9 Eb7 
 As the sky is turning black and glassing over
 
        Abadd9        Dbadd9              Ebsus4 
 As you drift so high above the lights of town
 
        Bbm9             Dbadd9         Bbm9            Dbadd9 
 All at once it seems so clear, you can see it all from here
 
             Bbm9            Dbadd9         Abadd9 Eb7 
 When you?re standing on the upside looking down
