[Verse]

C                  Em       
 Could’ve been the laughter 
G      Am
of the party
C                Em         
 Could’ve been a lighthouse 
G      Am
for my friends
C                 Em       G       Am
 Could’ve been forgiveness to your demons
              F    
Oh I could’ve been, 
             C 
all of these things 
           G
but in the end
 
 
[Chorus]

F    C           G     Am
Time made me its fool
    F C            G
And I learn how to lose
 
I got so restless in my head
      Am
Those thunder clouds 

were closing in and
                 C
Who was I? Still not quite sure and
G
 Laugh or cry, 

pray or sin
                     Am
My beating heart was linen thin
    F C           G
Now I know how it feels
                         C
Dancing on the head of a needle
 
 
[Verse]

                Em        
Could’ve been a shrink or 
G     Am
ballerina
C                    Em       
 And figured out the dance to 
G      Am
end your pain
C                   Em        
 Could’ve been your confidant 
G    Am
or a shaman
              F     
Oh I could’ve been, 
             C
all of these things
           G
But in the end
 
 
[Chorus]

F    C           G     Am
Time made me its fool
    F C            G
And I learn how to lose
 
I got so restless in my head
      Am
Those thunder clouds

 were closing in and
                 C
Who was I? Still not quite sure and
G
 Laugh or cry, pray or sin
                     Am
My beating heart was linen thin
    F C           G
Now I know how it feels
                         C
Dancing on the head of a needle
 
 
[Bridge]

    F C           G     Am
Now I know how it feels
    F C           G     Am
Now I know how it feels
 
 
[Chorus]

F    C           G     Am
Time made me its fool
    F C            G
And I learn how to lose
 
I got so restless in my head
      Am
Those thunder clouds 

were closing in and
                 C
Who was I? Still not quite sure and
G
 Dance or die, pray or sin
                     Am
My beating heart was linen thin
    F C           G
Now I know how it feels
                         C
