(intro 2x) C Am Em G C I sold my soul for diamonds Am And reason for acclaim Em Been begging for white angels G To blow my mind away C Been growing funny flowers Am Where roses never grew Em I stayed awake all night G When I woke up from dreams Of me and you Dm Em F I tried to take the sun and I went blind Dm Em F G God help me to erase you from my mind F I'm growing cold And the night is yet to come C Anyone tell me is this G The way it's meant to be Am Lost and isolated G F I'm way too complicated G C For you to lean on me G I play a losing game Dm I cried in desperation Em F Mental devastation C G I'm blowing out the flame C Self-pity gave me shelter Am I always hid away in vice Em Dyslexic, torn and tattered G F I tried to read the signs C You never tried to take a look Am At the one I'd have died to be Em G Now it seems you don't see me at all Dm Was it all worth it Em F Visions holding sway Dm Em F G When the real thing got lost along the way F C Yes anyone tell me is this G The way it's meant to be Am Lost and isolated G F I'm way too complicated G C For you to lean on me G I play a losing game Dm I cried in desperation Em F Mental devastation C Ab I'm blowing out the flame (solo) Bb C Dm Am C Bb C Dm Gm Am C Yes anyone tell me is this G The way it's meant to be Am Lost and isolated G F I'm way too complicated G C For you to lean on me G I play a losing game Dm I cried in desperation Em F Mental devastation C G C I'm blowing out the flame
