Verse 1:
   Bbm       Ab
My only one
   Bbm7         Eb
My smoking gun
   Bbm           Ab
My eclipsed sun
          Bbm7           Eb
This has broken me down
   Bbm            Ab
My twisted knife
   Bbm7             Eb
My sleepless night
   Bbm            Ab
My winless fight
           Bbm7               Eb
This has frozen my ground

 Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in

 No other sadness in the world would do

My best laid plan

Your sleight of hand

My barren land
     Bbm7                Eb
I am ash from your fire

Bridge:
Bbm          Ab                            Bbm7
 You know I left a part of me back in New York
              Eb                            Bbm
 You knew the hero died so what's the movie for?
             Ab                         Db
 You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
                           Eb
 From when they pulled me apart
Bbm            Ab                           Bbm7
 You knew the password so I let you in the door
              Eb                                 Bbm
 You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score?
             Ab                         Db
 You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
                           Eb
 From when they pulled me apart
                            Bbm
 But what you did was just as dark
Ab     Db   Eb
 -Ah, ah, ah-
                    Bbm
 Darling, this was just as hard
Ab                Db            Eb
 As when they pulled me apart
 
Outro:

My only one
   Eb            Ab
My kingdom come undone
   Ab          Db
My broken drum
         Eb               Ab
You have beaten my heart
Fm             Bbm             Eb          Ab
 Don't want no other shade of blue but you

 No other sadness in the world would do
