E

[Verse]
E              C#m
Running out of breath
                     G#m         B
chasing down the big parade, oh, oh
E            
Rising up my hand
            C#m                          G#m     B
thought I'd beg the marching band to play, for me
A                           G#                       C#m A
All of these illusions they really mean the world to me, me

[Chorus]
E             G#
Don't make me out to be
     C#                F#m
this helpless child of misery,
Am            E      F#
Maybe love is what I need
    F#m       Am     E   F#m
but not your sympathy

[Verse]
E             C#m
In and out of space
                          G#m        B
I'm always somewhere in between, oh, oh
E
I try to make commands
                     C#m           G#m     B
but instead I make a mess of things, for me
A
I try to paint by numbers
    G#                            C#m  A
but nothing's black and white for me

[Chorus]
E             G#
Don't make me out to be
     C#                F#m
this helpless child of misery,
Am            E      F#
Maybe love is what I need
    F#m       Am     E   F#m
but not your sympathy

[Bridge]
A                          E    B              C#m
Nothing and no one can make your lies the truth
A              E       F#       B             E
and no one can stand inside your shoes, but you

[Outro]
E             G#
Don't make me out to be
     C#                F#m
this helpless child of misery,
Am            E      F#
Maybe love is what I need
    F#m       Am     E   F#m
but not your sympathy
    F#m       Am     E   F#m
but not your sympathy
