[Verse 1] Am G My only one C D My smoking gun Am G My eclipsed sun C D This has broken me down Am G My twisted knife C D My sleepless night Am G My winless fight C D This has frozen my ground [Chorus] Em D G Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason" Em D G Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in Am G C D Don't want no other shade of blue but you Am G C D No other sadness in the world would do [Verse 2] Am G My best laid plan C D Your sleight of hand Am G My barren land C D I am ash from your fire [Chorus] Em D G Stood on the cliffside screaming, "Give me a reason" Em D G Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in Am G C D Don't want no other shade of blue but you Am G C D No other sadness in the world would do [Bridge] Am G C You know I left a part of me back in New York D Am You knew the hero died so what's the movie for? G C You knew it still hurts underneath my scars D From when they pulled me apart Am G C You knew the password so I let you in the door D Am You knew you won so what's the point of keeping score? G C You knew it still hurts underneath my scars D From when they pulled me apart Am But what you did was just as dark G C D (Ah, ah, ah) Am Darling, this was just as hard G C D As when they pulled me apart [Outro] G C My only one D G My kingdom come undone G C My broken drum D G You have beaten my heart Em Am D G Don't want no other shade of blue but you Em Am D G No other sadness in the world would do
