Head First

 
              Bm         G#m    E 
You always lived your life, 
  F#    D  C#m   Bm 
head first my friend. 
     G          F#              D   C#m    Bm 
It's been the same since the day you were born, 
  G            F#          Bm    G#m    G  F# 
when you came out head first. 
 

 
              Bm   G#m    E 
You always needed to 
  F#    D  C#m   Bm     G 
have all eyes on you, 
  F#        D   C#m    Bm 
taking the best that I had 
   G            F#          Bm 
to make me look one worse. 
 

 
      E                              A 
And you, so very impressed with me. 
        G#m    Bdim/F   F#           G#m   G  F# 
and how easily I could accept defeat. 
 

 
              Bm   G#m    E 
Oh, I lived my life that way, 
  F#    D  C#m   Bm     G 
Permanently second place, 
 F#        D   C#m    Bm 
looking up into your face, 
   G            F#          Bm 
to check my next move first. 
 

 
     E                               
And you, the best thing I got for me. 
 A             G#m      Bdim/F       F#             
left when she knew it was you I was trying to be, 
A              G#m       Bdim/F          F#         
left when she knew it was you who would always come first. 
                           F#       Bm 
Sure you'll be there, jump in head first.
