Verse 1
y[D]ou\'ll rescue me right? in the e[C]xact same way they never did
I[D]\'ll be happy right? when your healing p[C]owers kick in
y[D]ou\'ll complete me right? then my life can [C]finally begin
I[D]\'ll be worthy right? only when you re[C]alize the gem I am
b[D]ut this won\'t work [G]now the [C]way it once [D]did
a[D]nd I won\'t keep[G] it up [C]even though I would [D]love to
o[D]nce I know who I\'m[G] not then I[C]\'ll know wh[D]o I am
b[D]ut I know I won\'t [G]keep on pl[C]aying the vi[D]ctim
Chorus 1
these precious ill[C]usions in my h[G]ead
did not let me do[D]wn when I was defens[C]eless
and parting with t[G]hem is like
parting w[F]ith invisible best fri[D]ends
Verse 2
t[D]his ring will help me yet as will y[C]ou knight in shining armor
t[D]his pill will help me yet as will these b[C]oys gone though like water
b[D]ut this won\'t work as [G]well as the [C]way it once [D]did
c[D]uz I want to de[G]cide between su[C]rvival and bl[D]iss
a[D]nd though I know who I\'m[G] not I st[C]ill don\'t know wh[D]o I am
b[D]ut I know I won\'t k[G]eep on p[C]laying the [D]victim
Chorus 2
these precious ill[C]usions in my h[G]ead
did not let me do[D]wn when I was a [C]kid
and parting with th[G]em is like
parting wi[F]th childhood best fri[D]ends
Interlude
I[C]\'ve spent so [Bb]long firmly loo[F]king out[D]side me
I[C]\'ve spent so [Bb]much time li[F]ving in s[A]urvival mode
Verse 3
b[D]ut this won\'t work as [G]well as the [C]way it once [D]did
c[D]uz I want to de[G]cide between su[C]rvival and bl[D]iss
a[D]nd though I know who I\'m[G] not I st[C]ill don\'t know wh[D]o I am
b[D]ut I know I won\'t k[G]eep on p[C]laying the [D]victim
Chorus 3
these precious ill[C]usions in my h[G]ead
did not let me do[D]wn when I was defens[C]eless
and parting with t[G]hem is like
parting w[F]ith invisible best fri[D]ends
these precious ill[C]usions in my h[G]ead
did not let me do[D]wn when I was a [C]kid
and parting with th[G]em is like
parting wi[F]th childhood best fri[D]ends
