B
i'm not well
       Bmaj7
as you can tell
G#m             C#                 B      E
by the way i haven't looked you in the eye
             Em
and i'm about to lie

               B
and say i'm fine
  Bmaj7         B7                    E
but inside, you and i know that's not true
D#                      D#7            E
but it's either this or let my burdens weigh on you
         Em
and that i just can't do

[Chorus]
B
so i'll choose for the both of us
Bmaj7
and you'll just go along because
      E
you've trusted me for no good reason
Em
here i am committing treason

B
i'll force the last page of our story
         B7
one more boring allegory
  E
i hope to god you'll rise above me
Em
i always bite the hand that loves me
G#m         Gdim                  B
and mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all"
E                   Em
i'll watch you fall

[Verse 2]
           B
and i'm aware
            Bmaj7
that it's not fair
G#m                     D#              B     E
to bring you here, then send you on your way
          Em
you had so much to say

B
and to ask
                   B7         E
like "why am i not cut out for the task
D#7                                                  E
of loving you forever, of holding you and never wanting less?"
     Em
i can take a guess;

[Chorus]
             B
see, i could choose for the both of us
       Bmaj7
and you'd just go along because
       E
you're trusting me for no good reason
Em
you love no matter what the season

B
and i'd force the ending of our story
          B7
you're my favourite allegory
     E
then hope to god that you'll forgive me
Em
my mistakes will long outlive me
      G#m          Gdim           B
and mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all"
    E              Em
i'll watch us fall

[Bridge]
       F#
and i don't know if this makes it any easier
G#m                   Gdim             B
perhaps you'll find some comfort when i say
E                                    F#7
you and i are nothing more than meteors
G#m            Gdim           B       F#7
never meant to live long past today

E   Em
Mmm mmmm

[Chorus]
         B
so i'll choose for the both of us
       Bmaj7
and you'll just go along because
       E
you've trusted me against your judgement
   Em
you deserve someone who doesn't

B
force the last page of your story
Bmaj7
no more boring allegories
 E
hope to god you'll rise above me
    Em
though you'll always be part of me
G#m                Gdim               B
mine, mine is the "unkindest, kindest cut of all
        E
i'll watch you fall
       Em
now watch me fall
