Afraid Of Heights

[Verse 1]
Ab
  I know that I fucked up when I
Db
  Told you I'm afraid of heights
Ab
  It made you wanna test my courage
Eb
  You made me climb a cliff at night
Ab                                    Db
  You wanted me to jump and I declined
                                 Ab
You called me a coward, I replied
"I don't wanna live forever
Eb
  But I don't wanna die tonight"
 
 
[Chorus]
Db
  When the black water ate you up
Fm
  Like a sugar cube in a teacup
Ab
  I got the point you were makin'
Eb                                      Db
  When I held my breath 'til you came up
 
 
[Verse 2]
Ab
  There's been a run of fires downtown
Db
  On half-built construction sites
Ab
  I know you never liked a townhouse
Eb
  I've seen you climb a crane at night
Ab
  If they ever catch you at it
Db                           Ab
  I know you'd want me to be proud
That you took a rich man's dream
Eb
  And brought it with you on your way down
 
 
[Chorus]
Db                                         Fm
  "'Cause one man's dream is another man's death"
I remember when you told me that
Ab
  Didn't know what to say, so I just laughed
Eb                             Db
  But now I know it's not funny
 
 
[Verse 3]
Ab
  I never rode a motorcycle
Db
  I've never smoked a cigarette
Ab
  I wanna live a vibrant life
Eb
  But I wanna die a boring death
Ab
  I know I was a disappointment
Db
  Know you wanted me to take a risk
Ab
  Not everybody gets the chance to live
Eb
  A life that isn't dangerous
 
 
[Outro]
Fm
  You called me a crybaby
Db
  But you're the one who got teary
Ab
  Tellin' me what you believe
Eb                          Fm
  How we're stuck in entropy
How it hurts to hope
Db                             Ab
  Oh, it hurts to hope for more
                           Eb
Oh, it hurts to hope the future
                          Db
Will be better than before
