Chords Diagram
[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
