Lessons Chords by Halsey

[Intro]

C   Am 
Em  G
 
 
[Verse]

C        Am          Em
 I'm alive, that's a plus
                 G                      C
But it's getting heavy, better lighten up
         Am       Em
I'm a liar, I'm a lush
                  G        
I don't think I'm ready to 
              C
let go of the rush
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

           Am            Em
Hold on so tightly to my pride
             G               C
You'll never see the tears I cry
           Am              D
Behind the curtain where I hide
                          
Once they dry, I'm runnin' 
                 G
to the spotlight 
 
 
[Chorus]
                          Em
But I don't wanna lose control
                          C
I feel the ceiling cavin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             G
I learn again and again and again
                          Em
And I don't wanna lose control
                            C
I feel the pressure closin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             C
I learn again and again and again
               Am       
And again and again and 
           Em    G
again and again   
 
 
[Verse]

C           Am             Em
 Fall in love, call my bluff
                G       
Think he's on a knee but 
                      C
he's just pulling the rug
     Am            Em
All alone, all for what?
                G       
Look around but I don't 
                  C
see someone I can trust
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]

            Am            Em
And now the blame is only mine
         G            C
I'm in a heck of my design
               Am            D
'Cause I don't know how to define
                          
What I want, what I don't, 
                    G
now I've run out of time 
 
 
[Chorus]

                      Em
I don't wanna lose control
                          C
I feel the ceiling cavin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             G
I learn again and again and again
                          Em
And I don't wanna lose control
                            C
I feel the pressure closin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             C
I learn again and again and again
               Am        
And again and again and 
           Em  G
again and again
 
 
[Bridge]

D                 Em           G        C
All of my history plays out in front of me
                           D
Like they're reruns on the screen
                       
All the same mistakes, 
Em         G     C
freakin' up every take
                          D
And I'm the same in every scene
                      Em       
Killin' off the cast, showin' 
      G         C
up in all of my past 
                          D
Like I'm some human guillotine
                      Em    
Calling "Cut, that's enough,
           G          C
" I should go with my gut
                          D
But I don't 'cause I know that I
 
 
[Chorus]

G                      Em
 I don't wanna lose control
                          C
I feel the ceiling cavin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             G
I learn again and again and again
                          Em
And I don't wanna lose control
                            C
I feel the pressure closin' in
                           D
And all the lessons that unfold
                             G
I learn again and again and again
                       
And again and again and 
           Em
again and again 
                       
And again and again and 
           C
again and again (Ooh) 
                      
And again and again and 
           D
again and again
                              
And again and again and again 
           G   Em
and again (Ah)
