Intro: Bb  C Eb  Ebm

Bb
 I spend my nights filled with grief, for the life and the force

That I was before you changed it
     Gm        Bb                Eb         Bb
When we built a home, turned the chairs into thrones
         Eb         Bb
Guess we got comfortable around the edges

Pre-chorus:
  Bb           Cm
I put you on a pedestal
                F
Let you love me skeletal
            Gm
We got so inseparable
          Eb
I almost forgot how

Chorus:
                 Eb  F   Gm
Before I had you, I was free
       (nc)
Took my kingdom come
              Eb F Gm
Traded it for loyalty
      (nc)
Did it all for love
Bb              Eb  F  Gm
Now I'm running all my dreams
       Bb   F   Eb
By the king and queen
    Eb             Gm
I used to speak for me
                  Eb    Bb
But now I use the royal we

Verse 2:
Gm                        Eb            Bb
Walk in the room and your touch is like glue
       Eb         Gm              F
Fixing me to your skin, I'm your appendage
Gm           F          Eb          F
Your better half, am I better than that?
      Eb             Gm         F
Is my worth mine or yours, or a percentage?

Pre-chorus:
              Cm       Gm
I put us on a pedestal

(Put us on a pedestal)
                    F
Where everything's symmetrical

(Everything's symmetrical)
                   Gm
Love's supposed to make you whole
(Mmm).    Eb
I almost forgot how

Chorus:
                  Eb F  Gm
Before I had you, I was free
        (nc)
Let my walls come down
                Eb   F   Gm
I looked up and Troy was breached
       (nc)
And you wore my crown
Bb              Eb  F   Gm
Now I'm running all my dreams
       Bb   F   Eb
By the king and queen
           F        Gm
I used to speak for me
                  Eb    Bb
But now I use the royal we

Bridge:
Eb F Gm
  (I used to be)
Bb Eb
   (So used to me on my own)
 F  Gm
(I got used to we)
 Bb Eb
(Uh huh)
                 Eb  F   Gm
(I'll be running all my dreams)
        F     Gm
(I got used to we)
(Mmm)

Outro:
                 Eb F   Gm
Now I'm running all my dreams

(I used to be)
       Bb    F  Eb
By the king and queen

(So used to me on my own)
           F       Gm
I used to speak for me
       (nc)
But now I use the royal we
