Tuning: Standard

Capo: None

[Intro]

|B  |Esus2 |B  |Esus2 |

 

[Verse 1]

    B                    

The strands in your eyes 

     Esus2

that color them wonderful

B                          F#/Bb E/G#

Stop me and steal my breath

    B                       

And emeralds from mountains 

     Esus2

that thrust towards the sky

B                          F#/Bb E/G#

Never revealing their depth

 

[Pre-Chorus 1]

    B    F#/Bb   E/G#        F#/Bb 

And tell me that we belong together 

B           F#/Bb    E/G#             F#

Dress it up with the trappings of love

     B       F#/Bb       E/G#      F#/Bb

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

  B                       

Instead of the gallows of 

F#/Bb                         E/G# F#

heartache that hang from above

[Chorus 1]

B       Esus2

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

B               F#/Bb  E/G#

 I'll be love's suicide

    B       Esus2

And I'll be better when I'm older

B            F#/Bb    E/G#        B   Esus2

 I'll be the greatest fan of your life

[Instrumentals]

|B   |F#/Bb E/G# |

[Verse 2]

    B          Esus2

And rain falls angry on the tin roof

   B                     F#/Bb E/G#

As we lie awake in my bed

    B                          Esus2

And you're my survival, you're my living proof

   B                     F#/Bb E/G#

My love is alive and not dead 

[Pre-Chorus 2]

    B    F#/Bb   E/G#        F#/Bb 

And tell me that we belong together 

B           F#/Bb    E/G#             F#

Dress it up with the trappings of love

     B       F#/Bb       E/G#      F#/Bb

I'll be captivated, I'll hang from your lips

  B                       

Instead of the gallows of 

F#/Bb                         E/G# F#

heartache that hang from above

 

[Chorus 2]

    B       Esus2

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

B               F#/Bb  E/G#

 I'll be love's suicide

    B       Esus2

And I'll be better when I'm older

B            F#/Bb    E/G#        B

 I'll be the greatest fan of your life

 

[Interlude]

         G#m7

And I've dropped out, I've burned up,

     F#                          E   

I've fought my way back from the dead

G#m7                     

I Tuned in, I turned on, 

  F#                         E    A F#

Remembered the thing that you said

[Chorus 3]

    B       Esus2

And I'll be your cryin' shoulder

B               F#/Bb  E/G#

 I'll be love's suicide

    B       Esus2

And I'll be better when I'm older

B            F#/Bb    E/G#

 I'll be the greatest fan of your

B       Esus2

I'll be your cryin' shoulder

B               F#/Bb  E/G#

 I'll be love's suicide

    B       Esus2

And I'll be better when I'm older

B            F#/Bb    E/G#        B   Esus2

 I'll be the greatest fan of your life

 

[Outro]

B    F#/Bb    E/G#       B    

 The greatest fan of your life
