Verse 1

 DC
you\'ll rescue me right? in the exact same way they never did
 DC
I\'ll be happy right? when your healing powers kick in

 DC
you\'ll complete me right? then my life can finally begin
 DC
I\'ll be worthy right? only when you realize the gem I am

 DGCD
but this won\'t work now the way it once did
 DGCD
and I won\'t keep it up even though I would love to
 DGCD
once I know who I\'m not then I\'ll know who I am
 DGCD
but I know I won\'t keep on playing the victim

Chorus 1
 CG
these precious illusions in my head
 DC
did not let me down when I was defenseless
 G
and parting with them is like
 FD
parting with invisible best friends

Verse 2
 DC
this ring will help me yet as will you knight in shining armor
 DC
this pill will help me yet as will these boys gone though like water

 DGCD
but this won\'t work as well as the way it once did
 DGCD
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
 DGCD
and though I know who I\'m not I still don\'t know  who I am
 DGCD
but I know I won\'t keep on playing the victim

Chorus 2
 CG
these precious illusions in my head
 DC
did not let me down when I was a kid
 G
and parting with them is like
 FD
parting with childhood best friends

Interlude

 CBbFD
I\'ve spent so long firmly looking outside me

 CBbFA
I\'ve spent so much time living in survival mode

Verse 3
 DGCD
but this won\'t work as well as the way it once did
 DGCD
cuz I want to decide between survival and bliss
 DGCD
and though I know who I\'m not I still don\'t know  who I am
 DGCD
but I know I won\'t keep on playing the victim

Chorus 3
 CG
these precious illusions in my head
 DC
did not let me down when I was defenseless
 G
and parting with them is like
 FD
parting with invisible best friends

 CG
these precious illusions in my head
 DC
did not let me down when I was a kid
 G
and parting with them is like
 FD
parting with childhood best friends
