On the first day of our sto ry,

But you’ll (Gm)al ways be my he ro

e ven though you’ve lost your mind.

Just gon na (Gm)stand there and watch me burn,

well that’s al right be cause I like the way it hurts.

Just gon na (Gm)stand there and hear me cry,

well that’s al right be cause I love the way you lie,

love the way you lie.

Oh,

Now there’s (Gm)grav el in our voic es,

glass is shat tered from the fight.

In this (Gm)tug of war you’ll al ways win,

’Cause you feed me fa bles from your hand

And it’s (Gm)sick that all these bat tles are what keeps me sat is fied.
