C Am Em G
C                               Em        G
Champion on the podium, another win
C                                Em        G
Quiet when the crowd's gone, deafening
        C                Em      G
And he sits down in a darkening room
       C               Em     G
And he turns off the TV

[Verse 1]
        F
I don't know
               G             C
Everything was easier before
G       F
Take me back
                 G               C      G     F
Before I knew of artificial roses

[Interlude]
G          C    G    F
G          C    G    F
G          C    G    F
G          C    G    F

[Chorus]
C
I wish there was magic
       Em    G
Every day
C
I wish it was different
        Em     G
Not the same
C
It's a tap dance to you
       E
It's a minefield to me
C
And I'm watching
       Em     G
Every step

[Verse 2]
        F
I don't know
               D             C
Everything was easier before
G       F
Take me back
                 G               C      G     F
Before I knew of artificial roses
G        F
I don't know
               G             C
Everything was easier before
G       F
Take me back
                 G               C      G     F
Before I knew of artificial roses

[Outro]
