Capo 1
Intro: A E F#m D (X2)
A
This story lying inside my head
E
He spun gold and straw instead
F#m
Cut your hand on the spinning wheel
D
This shield is getting heavy
A E
And worked too much and tried too hard
F#m D
To lose, oh to lose
Solo - A E F#m D
Play it safe you say
I cant get through this alone
This cross we carry on our backs
Its just one big balancing act
Chorus:
A E
And do you think I'd try
F#m D
To leave without you by my side
A E
Those stone walls too steep
F#m D
To keep this baby locked inside
Bridge:
F#m
Call it crazy but
E A
This price is just too much for me
D
Put your white glove in my hand
F#m
I'm trying to be your man
E
This is all that I can take
A
To mend these rules you break
D
I'll be the floodgate that sets you free, yeah
Solo - A E F#m D (X2)
A E
And worked too much and tried too hard
F#m D
To lose, oh to lose
Chorus
Repeat intro chords until end, end on A
