Long Story Short

[Intro] C

[First Part]

F         C           Am  
Fatefully, I tried to pick my 
                     G
battles 'til the battle picked me
F       C         Am             
 Misery, like the war of words I 
G
shouted in my sleep
F        C
 And you passed right by

Am                     G
I was in the alley, surrounded on 

I|all sides 

F          C
 The knife cuts both ways
       Am                     G
If the shoe fits, walk in it 'til 
your high heels break

[Chorus]

F                    C
 And I fell from the pedestal
               Am
Right down the rabbit hole
           G
Long story short, it was a bad time
F                C
 Pushed from the precipices
             Am
Clung to the nearest lips
           G
Long story short, it was the wrong 
guy
F        C
 Now I'm all about you
Am   G
 I'm all about you, ah
C      F           G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    C
I'm all about you, ah
      F           Em  C
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Second Part]

F        C         Am           
Actually, I always felt I must 
    G
look better in the rear view
F           C       Am          
 Missing me, at the golden gates
      G
 they once held the keys to
F       C
 When I dropped my sword

  Am                         G
I threw it in the bushes and 

I|knocked on your door 

Continues after the ad
F       C
 And we live in peace
       Am                   G/B
But if someone comes at us, this 
time, I'm ready

[Chorus]

F                       C
 'Cause I fell from the pedestal
               Am
Right down the rabbit hole
           G
Long story short, it was a bad time
F                C
 Pushed from the precipices
             Am
Clung to the nearest lips
           G
Long story short, it was the wrong 
guy
F        C
 Now I'm all about you
Am   G
 I'm all about you, ah
C      F           G
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    C
I'm all about you

[Bridge]

Am  G/B          Dm
 No more keepin' score
           Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you 
warm)
   G/B         Dm
No more tug of war
           F                  Am
Now I just know there's more (Know 
there's more)
   G/B          Dm
No more keepin' score
           Am
Now I just keep you warm (Keep you 
warm)
Am      Em              F
 And my waves meet your shore
         G
Ever and evermore

[Third Part]

F        C        Am            
 Past me, I wanna tell you not 
      G
to get lost in these petty things
F            C        
 Your nemeses, will defeat 
Am                G
themselves before you get the chance
 to swing
F         C
 And he's passing by
Am                       G
Rare as the glimmer of a comet in 
the sky
F       C
 And he feels like home
       Am                   
If the shoe fits, walk in it 
 G
everywhere you go

[Chorus]

C                    F
 And I fell from the pedestal
               G
Right down the rabbit hole
           C
Long story short, it was a bad time
                F
Pushed from the precipices
                   Em
Climbed right back up the cliff
           C
Long story short, I survived
        F              G
Now I'm all about you, ah
    C
I'm all about you, ah
    F             Em
I'm all about you, ah
    C
I'm all about you, ah
      F           Em
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    C
I'm all about you
      F           G
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    C
I'm all about you

( F  C )

Am          G                  F
 Long story short, it was a bad 
    C
time
Am          G
 Long story short, I survived
