[Verse]
D                               A    
The businessmen are drinking my blood
F#7                                   B7   
Like the kids in art school said they would
D                           A    
And I guess I'll just begin again
F#7                     B      
You say can we still be friends


[Chorus]
D E              
■ If I was scared
  D    
I would
       E          
And if I was bored
         D      
You know I would
       E          
And if I was yours
        F# 
But I'm not


[Verse]
D                          A    
■ All the kids have always known
F#7                       B      
That the emperor wears no clothes
D                           A     
But they bow to down to him anyway
F#m                           B    
'cause it's better than being alone


[Chorus]
D      E         
■ If I was scared
D      
I would
       E          
And if I was bored
         D      
You know I would
       E          
And if I was yours
            F#
But I'm not ■ 


[Verse]
D                         A   
Now you're knocking at my door
F#m                            Bm7    
Saying please come out with us tonight
D                     A    
But I would rather be alone
F#m                             
Than pretend that I feel alright
D                                  A    
If the businessmen are drinking my blood
F#m                                   B7   
Like the kids in art school said they would
D                            A    
Then I guess I'll just begin again
F#m                     B      
You say can we still be friends
D      E         
■ If I was scared
  D    
I would
       E         
And if I was pure
           D    
You know I would
       E          
And if I was yours


[Chorus]
    C#m7    F# F#7

E              
If I was scared
  C#m   D Dmaj7
I would ■ ■    
    E            
And if I was pure
Amaj7      E     D
You know I would ■
       E     C#m  
And if I was yours
        F# 
But I'm not
G#m7             D     F#m
Now I'm ready to start ■  


[Bridge]
E         D              F#m
■ Now I'm ready to start ■  
C#m                D        F#m
■   I would rather be wrong ■  


[Chorus]
F#m7 E                  D                   
■    ■ Than live in the shadows of your song
   F#m          F#m7
My mind is open wide
    E       D        F#m  
And now I'm ready to start
E       D             
Now I'm ready to start
           F#m  E   
My mind is open wide
                  D       
And now I'm ready to start
           F#m                  E   
You're not sure you'll open the door
                     D   
To step out into the dark
F#m E              
■   ■ Now I'm ready
