The Illusion

Am               C
The stage at my feet
Am             C
Is not part of me
Am                C
The way I'm perceived
Em               D/F
Contradicts my beliefs
Am               C
My head's in a mess
Am                   C
About where I should be
Em
And I'd understand
                 D/F
If you were to leave

Pre-chorus:

Em                    D/F
When you see how it started
Am                   D/F
It kind of ruins the illusion
Em                      D/F
But this is what we had wanted
Am               D/F
But I don't wanna be

Chorus:

Am                         C
Bringing you down if I'm falling
Am                            C
I can't explain how this feels now
Am                                 C
All of our fears could be right through
Em
The next door...
    D/F
Or not

Verse 2:
[same as verse 1]

The falls (flaws?) in our lives
Remind me of why
It's better we learn
Than go in blindly and burn
My regret is met
With anxiety
And I'd understand
If you were to leave

Pre-chorus

Chorus

Bridge:

Em                                D/F
As I leave these streets I knew so well
Am
I am falling
C
Knowing yeah
Em                                D/F
I'll never walk along these roads again
Am
I have taken
C
All I'm owed
Em
So let me go

Pre-chorus 2:
Em                D/F
She asked if I remember
Am                               D/F
She swears she'll feel this way forever
Em
If I'm the one in question
                  D/F
Well i don't wanna be...
