Pedestal

 
              Verse 1:
Am                C                   G         F 
I'm sure you've enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't? 
Am             C                   G                D 
I'm sure every perk has perked you up, how could it not? 
Am             C                 G                 F 
And every opportunity through me helped you climb, didn't it? 
            Am              C              G         D4   D 
Dropping my name blew doors open that were closed before 
  
 
F           C                      Am                G 
And one day you'll see that you've never really seen me 
F       C                    G 
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of 
Wasn't who stood before you 
F       C          Am                          Em 
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now 
        F                 C    D4 
As this pedestal crumbles down 
    D                   Am    C  G  F 
And crashes me to the ground 
  
Verse 2:
Am           C                    G               F 
I'm sure you enjoyed my name, who wouldn't take advantage? 
Am             C                         G                   D 
I'm sure you enjoyed this game, and the proxy pride that you landed 
Am               C                 G         F 
And everything vicarious seemed to build you up 
Am              C             G               D 
You grabbed my crown and got everything you wanted 
  
 
F           C                      Am                G 
And one day you'll see that you've never really loved me 
F       C                    G 
One day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of 
Wasn't who stood before you 
F       C          Am                          Em 
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now 
        F                 C     D4 
As this pedestal crumbles down 
    D                  Bb 
And crashes me to the ground 
  
Bridge:
Bb 
You're left with a human being 
(Am)   A 
You're left with a fallible soul 
Bb 
Oh, when the glitter falls 
    F 
I'm here and sometimes average, sometimes more 
Bb                            Am   A 
When the glare of the lights grow dim 
                                Bb 
And you're left with a delicate real 
                                      F       C       D4  D 
When the bright lights clear, there's just me sitting here 
  
 
F       C                      Am                G 
One day you'll see that you've never really seen me 
F           C                    G 
And one day you'll find out that everything you dreamed of, 
Wasn't who stood before you 
F       C          Am                          Em 
One day I won't be craved the way you crave me now 
        F                 C    D4 
As this pedestal crumbles down 
        D                F    C  D 
As this pedestal crashes down 
D                 Am    C  G  F 
Crashes me to the ground 
  
Am            C                  G 
I hope you enjoyed the ride, who wouldn't? 
    F 
Who wouldn't? 
  
Final: Am
