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

I'm blowing out the flame

The way it's meant to be
