[Intro]
C  Em F  C  F  C  G

[Verse 1]
          C   Em   F        CI thought love was the greatest gift
     F       C        GThat I could give to you
           C  Em           F      CBut I found out you like a darker tune
           F               G      FThere was nothing I could do to save you
          C  Em          F             C‘Cuz it’s a curse, your sympathy and fate
    F          C             GYou never hesitate to forgive
         C  Em           F           CBut this world, it just takes and takes
        F                      GThere’s only so much you can bear
        FBefore you break

[Chorus]
     CI adore you
F                  Chow you break the rules
F                   C               Gall the things you do to keep it true
  CI adore you
           F          CWith your paralyzing fears
      F       CYour mascara tears
       G       FWhy so hard on yourself

[Bridge]
Am              EmNow the sun is setting
F                    CAnd I must face the night
Am                   Em‘Cuz now I know the darkness
F         CThat you embrace
Am                    EmEverything that ever happened
Am              EmDoesn’t matter anymore
F                    CDoesn’t matter where you’re going
GIt just matters who you are

[Verse 3]
       C  Em             F               CNo one told you but you like that disconnect
    F                   CNot knowing what comes next
GOr what could have been
          C           EmSo we’ll raise this glass
          F               CWe won’t talk about the why
          F               CWe don’t have to say goodbye
           G               FWe’ll just say until the next time

[Chorus]
   CI adore you
F                   Chow you break the rules
F                   C              Gall the things you do to keep it true
  CI adore you
          F           CWith your paralyzing fears
      F       CYour mascara tears
      G        FWhy so hard on yourself
