First

            G               D
Cheated and lied, broken so bad
           A              A
You made a vow, never get mad
             G                 D
You play the game, though it's unfair
                A                A
They're all the same, who can compare?
G                     D                     A   A
First you lose trust, then you get worried

            G                D
Night after night, bar after club
             A                    A
Dropping like flies, who woke you up
             G                       D
On the front lawn, sprinklers turned on
              A                     A
It's not your house, where'd you go wrong?
G                   D                   A   A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


[Chorus]

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first
G                   D                   A  A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


[Verse]

              G                D
There comes a time, in a short life
Continues after the ad
         A              A
Turn it around, get a rewrite
          G                  D
Call it a dark, night of the soul
           A                 A
Ticking of clocks, gravity’s pull
G                    D                     A  A
First you get close, then you get worried


[Chorus]

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first
G                   D                   A   A
First you get hurt, then you feel sorry


[Verse]

G                   D
You're going silent,  the silent treatment
A                     A
It's not inviting now,  don't deny what you meant
G               D
You get excited, you get excited
A                      A
You got a feel it, oh, at least you can pretend
G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
A                       A
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
G               D                A  A
You get excited, you get excited


[Chorus]

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first

              G                          D
Flying like a cannonball, falling to the earth
           A                         A
Heavy as a feather when, you hit the dirt
             G                      D
How am I the lucky one?, I do not deserve
                  A                         A
To wait around forever when, you were there first


[Bridge]

G                   D                     A  A
First you get close, then you get worried           (x4)


[Other]

G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
A                      A
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
G                  D
You wanna light it, you wanna light it
G                      D                         A
You wanna light it now, the candle from both ends
