Wax Wings

Intro 
  E 

 
E 
I tried to warn you the day this began 
              A            E 
I'm broken inside yeah I'm half of a man 
        A 
But I'm doing my best 
                E 
The best that I can 
E 
I made it clear from the day that we met 
            A           E 
That I overthink every word every breath 
         A 
So just know that I mean 
                     E 
Every word that I've said 
 

 
  C#m                
I know that I will, 
                     A 
but how short will I fall? 
       C#m                                         A 
Well I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong 
 

Interlude 
  E 

 
E 
I put you on a pedestal 
    A 
But you just keep rising 
E 
Amber in the sky 
          A 
You're an endless horizon 
     A                    E                               E 
And I've got these wax wings that ain't made for flying 
        E 
If you let me I'll keep climbing 
          A           C#m         E 
Till the seams of the world come apart 
        A 
If I'm lucky 

I know where I'll be 
E             A           E 
Up there with you in the stars 
 

 
  C#m                
I know that I will, 
                      E    A 
but how short will I fall? 
       C#m                                             E     A 
Well I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong 
       C#m 
'Cause I'm just a man 
       
With two shaky hands 
    E                 A       E 
Convinced that you're better alone 
      F#m                       A 
But I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong 
 

 
           F#m                       A 
Don't have much to my name but I'll spend everyday 
      E                  
Just going wherever you go 
          F#m 
When your brown turns to grey 
        A 
And my mind starts fade 
       E                        
You'll be the last memory I'll hold 
 

 
 C#m                
I know that I will, 
                      E    A 
but how short will I fall? 
       C#m                                             E     A 
Well I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong 
       C#m 
'Cause I'm just a man 
       
With two shaky hands 
    E                 A       E 
Convinced that you're better alone 
      F#m                       A               E 
But I hope that you give me a lifetime to prove myself wrong
