G                             C
 I know that I fucked up when I
                              G
Told you I'm afraid of heights
                                D
It made you wanna test my courage
                                 G
You made me climb a cliff at night
                                  C
You wanted me to jump and I declined
                               G
You called me a coward, I replied
                           D
"I don't wanna live forever
                              C
But I don't wanna die tonight"

                               Em
When the black water ate you up
                             G
Like a sugar cube in a teacup
                               D
I got the point you were makin'
                                      C
When I held my breath till you came up

G                                    C
 There's been a run of fires downtown
                                G
On half-built construction sites
                                  D
I know you never liked a townhouse
                                    G
I've seen you climb a crane at night
                            C
If they ever catch you at it
                             G
I know you'd want me to be proud

That you took a rich man's dream
D
 And brought it with you on your way down

C                                         Am
 'Cause one man's dream is another man's death
                             G
I remember when you told me that
                                      D
Didn't know what to say, so I just laughed
                             C
But now I know it's not funny

G
 I never rode a motorcycle
C
 I've never smoked a cigarette
G
 I wanna live a vibrant life
D
 But I wanna die a boring death
G
 I know I was a disappointment
C
 Know you wanted me to take a risk
G                                   D
 Not everybody gets the chance to live

A life that isn't dangerous

Em                     C
  You called me a crybaby
                                G
But you're the one who got teary
                        D
Tellin' me what you believe
                        Em
How we're stuck in entropy
                     C
How it hurts to hope
                          G
Oh, it hurts to hope for more
                           D
Oh, it hurts to hope the future
                       C
Will be better than before
