Intro
A F#m C#m E x2
A
I sold my soul for diamonds
F#m
And reason for acclaim
C#m
Been begging for white angels
E
To blow my mind away
A
Been growing funny flowers
F#m
Where roses never grew
C#m
I stayed awake all night
E
When I woke up from dreams
Of me and you
Bm C#m D
I tried to take the sun and I went blind
Bm C#m D E
God help me to erase you from my mind
D
I'm growing cold
And the night is yet to come
A
Anyone tell me is this
[Chorus]
E
The way it's meant to be
F#m
Lost and isolated
E D
I'm way too complicated
E A
For you to lean on me
E
I play a losing game
Bm
I cried in desperation
C#m D
Mental devastation
A E
I'm blowing out the flame
A
Self-pity gave me shelter
F#m
I always hid away in vice
C#m
Dyslexic, torn and tattered
E D
I tried to read the signs
A
You never tried to take a look
F#m
At the one I'd have died to be
C#m E
Now it seems you don't see me at all
Bm
Was it all worth it
C#m D
Visions holding sway
Bm C#m D E
When the real thing got lost along the way
D A
Yes anyone tell me is this
[Chorus]
E
The way it's meant to be
F#m
Lost and isolated
E D
I'm way too complicated
E A
For you to lean on me
E
I play a losing game
Bm
I cried in desperation
C#m D
Mental devastation
A F
I'm blowing out the flame
