[Verse]
A D I just looked into my life Bm And all I saw was that
F#m
you're not coming back D Bm Oh, can't you see when
C#m
the ballad comes for you Bm E It comes like me? A D But I won't be afraid Bm I can't seem to find you
F#m
in this midnight parade D Bm I know it's all true C#m When the ballad comes for me,
Bm E
it comes like you [Chorus]
Gmaj7 F#m Up close C I fell in love with you C (I met you at an early show) Gmaj7 F#m C You fall,
I'll fall along with you C (We travelled
Gmaj7
'round the world together) [Interlude]

Em G [Verse]
A I just looked
D
out to the point Bm Where the words,
they are hitting me F#m In a full-on assault D Bm Oh, can't you see when
C#m
the ballad comes for you Bm E It comes like mе? A Well, I know I can't
D
change the timеs Bm I know I'm already
breaking when
F#m
I look into your eyes D Bm Oh, can't you see when
C#m
the ballad comes for you Bm E It comes like me? [Chorus]
G F#m Up close C I fell in
love with you C (I met you at
an early show) G F#m C You fall,
I'll fall along with you C (We travelled
'round the world together) [Outro]
