Intro:
    Db
    D A Gbm Bm -x2-

D                          A E   
Businessmen drink my blood
         Gbm                                 Bm
Like the kids in art school said they would
      D                            A E   
And I guess I'll just begin again
Gbm                              Bm
You say can we still be friends

Chorus:
D          E         D   
  If I was scared, I would
D              E      A        E   
  And if I was bored, you know I would
D              E                  Gbm   E
  And if I was yours, but I'm not


D                               A E   
All the kids have always known
         Gbm                        Bm
That the emperor wears new clothes
       D                          A E   
But to bow to down to them anyway
   Gbm                      Bm
Is better than to be alone

Chorus:
D          E         D   
  If I was scared, I would
D              E      A        E   
  And if I was bored, you know I would
D              E                  Gbm   E
  And if I was yours, but I'm not


D                               A E   
Now you're knocking at my door
       Gbm                                Bm
Saying please come out against the night
    D                        A E   
But I would rather be alone
Gbm                          Bm
Than pretend I feel alright


       D                           A E   
If the businessmen drink my blood
         Gbm                                 Bm
Like the kids in art school said they would
       D                           A E   
Then I guess I'll just begin again
Gbm                              Bm
You say can we still be friends

Chorus:
D          E        D   
  If I was scared, I would
D              E     A        E   
  And if I was pure, you know I would
D              E                  Gbm
  And if I was yours, but I'm not
E                D
Now I'm ready to start


D          E
  If I was scared, I would
D              E     A        E   
  And if I was pure, you know I would
D              E                  Gbm
  And if I was yours, but I'm not
E                D     Gbm
Now I'm ready to start


E                D     Gbm
Now I'm ready to start
E                 D     Gbm
I would rather be wrong
     E                      D
Than live in the shadows of your song
           Gbm
My mind is open wide
    E                D     Gbm 
And now I'm ready to start
    E                D
And now I'm ready to start
           Gbm
My mind is open wide
    E                D
And now I'm ready to start
                 Gbm
Your mind surely opened the door
   E                 D    Gbm
To step out into the dark
E   
Now I'm ready
