[Intro]
A E G#m D E/G#


[Verse 1]
A             E
  I envy your youth you
             F#m C#m E/G#
live like a storm
A                  E
  And I'm just the old man
      F#m                D   E/G#
who's there to drive you home
A                          E
  And someday you're gonna meet
                F#m
the man of your dreams And
      C#m                 E/G#
I can say that it isn't me
A       E      F#m         E
  Cause I'm no good for you


[Chorus 1]
             A    D
Take it from me a king whose
E                        A
castles were made out of clay
              D
Well I had it all And I
E         F#m
threw it away And finally
     D
I'll do the right thing
                      E
for once in my life I hate
           E
to have to watch you walk
 E
away But I'm no good for
A  E/G# F#m
you         I'm no good
E/G# A  E/G# F#m D E
for  you


[Verse 2]
A             E
  Please just sit with me
      F#m  C#m E/G# A
for a while          Tonight
       E                F#m
is the night that we confess
           D     E/G# A
to all our crimes      And
                  E
something's gotta give
                     F#m
cause it's take take take
           F#m
And you're not gonna
                 E/G# A
like what I have to   say
    E      F#m         E
But I'm no good for you


[Chorus 2]
             A    D
Take it from me a king whose
E                        A
castles were made out of clay
              D
Well I had it all And I
E         F#m D
threw it away
E            A    D
Take it from me a saint
   E
Who hurt the one that
            A
he tried to save
      E/G#      F#m
And I love you enough
   E     F#m
to walk away
    F#m
And finally
     D
I'll do the right thing
                      E
for once in my life I hate
           E
to have to watch you walk
 E
away But I'm no good for you


[Bridge]
Bm        E
  Someday someone will make you
A                 F#m
laugh the way you used to
Bm                       E
  And you'll find you'll find
     G#m             A
That this is for the best
             Bm
And you will learn how to
 E           A        E
smile Being alone but just
      F#m   D
for a while Try to understand
     E
that you will love again


[Chorus 3]
             A    D
Take it from me a king whose
E                        A
castles were made out of clay
              D
Well I had it all And I
E         F#m D
threw it away
E            A    D
Take it from me a saint
   E
Who hurt the one that
            A
he tried to save
      E/G#      F#m
And I love you enough
   E     A  E/G# F#m
to walk away
                    E  E/G# F#m D E A
Coz I'm no good for you
