Protection

Em  G  Bm  A
Em  G  D  A

[Verse]
             Em              G                  D   A
It wasn't perfection I was expecting when I met you
            Em                       G
It's nearly midnight, girl, when the clock strikes,
            D         A
What do you turn back to?
Em             D/F#                  G                  A
  And if I got used, it's all that I wanted, all that I wanted
Em               D/F#             G
  For all that I knew I needed protection,
              A
Now I need protection
     G   Em   Bm  A
From you.

Em  G  D  A

[Verse]
                 Em
Hung out on your friends list
               G
To see who you went with
             D         A
And how they know you
           Em                 G
Sent token gestures to serial texters
           D                       A
In capital letters, the louder the better
Em                D/F#
  You come for my queen,
Continues after the ad
              G                   A
You better be loaded, create an explosion
Em               D/F#                 G
  The second you miss, you'll need protection,
                  A       Asus
There'll be no protection ...


[Chorus]
Em                          G                D   A
  The broken mirror's not reflecting part of me
Em                           G                 D        A
  Can't see the future but I know it's got its eye on me
             Em         G
Cause you're all that I need
           D         A                    Em
And that's all as my world comes crashing down
            G         D     A
When you're out of my reach

[Interlude]
Em  G  D  A  x2


[Verse]
              Em
I've seen the future,
           G                  D         A
Everyone's older and nobody's there for you
                 Em                 G
You spin off the rails chasing your tail
              D
As everything fails,
                    A
Do you want all the details?
Em               D/F#
  I'm coming for you,
              G                       A
Changing your routine won't help you elude me
Em                  D/F#
  You'll never find proof,
             G                             A       Asus
Find some protection, cause you'll need protection ...


[Chorus]
Em                          G                D   A
  The broken mirror's not reflecting part of me
Em                           G                 D        A
  Can't see the future but I know it's got its eye on me
             Em         G
Cause you're all that I need
           D         A                    Em
And that's all as my world comes crashing down
            G         D     A
When you're out of my reach
Em                          G                D   A
  The broken mirror's not reflecting part of me
Em                           G                 D        A
  Can't see the future but I know it's got its eye on me
             Em         G
Cause you're all that I need
           D         A                    Em
And that's all as my world comes crashing down
            G         D    A    Em
When you're out of my reach.
