Someone To Fall Back On

	  		
G 
I'll never be 

A knight in armor 
C 
with a sword in hand, 

or a kamikaze fighter; 

G 
Don't count on me 

To storm the barricades 
C 
and take a stand, 

or hold my ground; 

Am 
You'll never see 
G 
Any scars or wounds - 
G 
I don't walk on coals, 
C 
I won't walk on water: 


G C 
I am no prince, 
G C 
I am no saint, 
G C Am D G 
I am not anyones wildest dream, 
G C G 
But i can stand behind 
C G D G 
And be someone to fall back on. 


G 
Some comedy - 

your bruised and beaten down 
C 
and i'm the one 

who's looking for a favor? 
G 
Still, honestly, 

You don't believe me 
C 
But the things I have 

Are the things you need? 
Am 
You look at me 
G 
Like I don't make sense, 
G 
Like a waste of time, 
C 
Like it serves no purpose - 

G C 
I am no prince 
G C 
I am no saint 
G C Am D G 
And if that's what you bleieve you need 
G C G C 
you're wrong - you don't need much, 
G D G 
You need someone to fall back on... 



Em 
And i'll be that: 
C 
I'll take your side. 
Em 
If i'm the only one, 
C 
I'm used to that 
Em 
I've been alone, 
C Am 
I'd rather be 
G 
The half of us, 
C 
The least of you, 
D 
The best of me. 


And I will be 
G C 
I'll be your prince 
G C 
I'll be your saint, 
G C Am D G 
I will go crashing through fences, 
G C G C 
In your name. I will, I swear -
