Intro: C
 
Verse 1:
G     Am               F
Combat, I'm ready for combat
              G        Am               F
I say I don't want that, but what if I do?
       G      Am            F
'Cause cruelty wins in the movies
          G                   Am                 F
I've got a hundred thrown-out speeches I almost said to you
 
Pre-Chorus:
 C
Easy they come, easy they go
   G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
   Am
I never grew up, it's getting so old
 F
Help me hold on to you
 
Chorus:
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
    G          F
But who could stay?
 
Verse 2:
G        Am                   F
Dark side, I search for your dark side
                G         Am            F
But what if I'm alright, right, right, right here?
      G      Am                F
And I cut off my nose just to spite my face
                  G      Am              F
Then I hate my reflection for years and years
 
Pre-Chorus:
   C
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
     G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
     Am
And all of my heroes die all alone
 F
Help me hold on to you
 
Chorus:
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
                          Am
Screaming, who could ever leave me, darling
    G          F
But who could stay?
 
-I see right through me, I see right through me-
 
Bridge:
        C
'Cause they see right through me
 C
They see right through me
 G
They see right through
     G
Can you see right through me?
 Am
They see right through
 Am
They see right through me
F
I see right through me
F
I see right through me
 
Pre-Chorus:
 C
All the king's horses, all the king's men
 G
Couldn't put me together again
        Am
'Cause all of my enemies started out friends
 F
Help me hold on to you
 
Chorus:
              C            G         F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
    G          F
But who could stay?
 
-I see right through me, I see right through me-
        C
Who could stay?
G          F
Who could stay?
           Am
Who could stay?
G          F
You could stay
           C         G   F
You could stay...
