C   Em   Am   G

[Verse 1]
C          Em                     Am
       How long will you lead me along?
    G                       C
How long is that piece of string?
          Em                  Am
Felt I was flying through the air (I was wrong)
               G                 C
'Cause I'm the kite you're handling

                    Em
        Can't get a hold of you
  Am                   G       C
I don't know where you are
                     Em
       We used to be like glue
             Am                     G          F
But then you ripped away and left me scarred

[Pre-Chorus]
F               G                      Am                  C       F
     This isn’t how I thought it would end    No, not like this
F                G                    Am
    Few lines of text and you pressed send
         Am     C
Not like this

[Chorus]
          F
Won’t you scream in my face
   G
Or cry me a river
        Am
Come on leave me a trace
             C                        F
Oh won’t you stand and deliver your lines
      G                  Am       C
Don’t leave it all like this

             F
Oh won’t you give me a sign
G
Smash in a window
          Am
Won't you start up a fire
              C                          F
Come on let’s reach the crescendo it’s time
      Em                F    G
Don’t leave it all like this…
           Am      Em    F     G
Not like this
          Am     Em     F     G

[Verse 2]
Am          Em                      F
        How high are you holdin' me up
          G                  Am
On such a delicate breakable thread?
               Em                 F
After all the life you gave me I never thought
     G                         Am
That you would go and leave me dead
           Em
‘Cause I remember you
     F            G      Am
With fire in your eyes
Am              Em
        I wanna feel the burn
         F                  G
But your blood runs cold as ice

[Pre-Chorus]
F               G                      Am                  C       F
     This isn’t how I thought it would end    No, not like this
F                G                    Am
    Few lines of text and you pressed send
         Am     C

[Chorus]
          F
Won’t you scream in my face
   G
Or cry me a river
        Am
Come on leave me a trace
             C                        F
Oh won’t you stand and deliver your lines
      G                  Am       C
Don’t leave it all like this

             F
Oh won’t you give me a sign
G
Smash in a window
          Am
Won't you start up a fire
              C                          F
Come on let’s reach the crescendo it’s time
      Em                F    G
Don’t leave it all like this…
           Am      Em    F     G

[Bridge]
F                       G           Am              C        F
      I thought we’d be done with a shout and not a whisper
F                    G          Am             C
     Thought we’d go out with a bang and not a whimper

[Pre-Chorus]
F               G                      Am                  C       F
     This isn’t how I thought it would end    No, not like this
F                G                    Am
    Few lines of text and you pressed send
            Am     C
No not like this

[Chorus]
          F
Won’t you scream in my face
   G
Or cry me a river
        Am
Come on leave me a trace
             C                        F
Oh won’t you stand and deliver your lines
      G                  Am       C
Don’t leave it all like this

             F

G
Smash in a window
          Am
Won't you start up a fire
              C                          F
Come on let’s reach the crescendo it’s time
