(Intro)

Dm F A# x2
 
(Verse 1)
 
Dm               F A#
 I am heaven sent
Dm         F       A#
 Don't you dare forget
Dm    F          A#   Dm     
 I am all you've ever wanted, 
             F     A#       Dm
what all the other boys all promised
F     A#     
Sorry I told
Dm      F      A#
 I just needed you to know
Dm          F   A#        Dm    
 I think in decimals and dollars
         F        A#       C
I am the cause to all your problems
             A   
Shelter from cold
       F     Dm
we are never alone
C                   A
Coordinate brain to mouth, 
     F                             Dm        A#      C   
then ask me what it’s like to have myself so figured out
C5
  Wish I knew...
 
(Interlude)
Dm F A# x2
(Can alternatively use riff here x2)
 
[Verse 2]
(Can use riff here until strumming starts again at 
“Holding on to your grudge”)

Dm                        F     A#
I hope this song starts a craze 
Dm                  F           A#
The kinda song that ignites the airwaves
Dm                        F      A#         Dm
The kinda song that makes people glad to be where they are
     F               A#
with whoever they're there with
Dm       F   A# 
 This is war    
      Dm                        F           A#    Dm
Every line is about who I don't wanna write about anymore
                        F         A#         Dm      
Hope you come down with something they can’t diagnose,
      F        A#
don't have the cure for
C                   A     
 Holding on to your grudge
            Dm           F          A#
Oh, it’s so hard to have someone to love
C                     A
 and keeping quiet is hard
            Dm          F            
because you can’t keep a secret if it
A#                    C
never was a secret to start
         C5                           F
At least pretend you didn't wanna get caught
 
 
(Chorus)
 
F           A#                 Dm
We're concentrating on falling apart
           A#                        Dm
We were contenders, now throwin’ the fight 
             F
I just wanna believe
             Gm
I just wanna believe
             A#
I just wanna believe in us


(Verse)
Dm F    A#         Dm        F     A#
      Oh, we're so c-c-c-c-c-controversial
Dm              F       A#
We are entirely smooth
   Dm
We admit to the truth
           F       A#      Dm
We are the best at what we do
                  F         A#       Dm
And these are the words you wish you wrote down
            F       A#        Dm
This is the way you wish your voice sounds,
             F     A#
Handsome and smart
       Dm                             F
Oh, my tongue's the only muscle on my body
           A#            Dm     
That works harder than my heart
         F        A#       Dm
And it’s all from watching TV,
         F        A#    C
And from speeding up my breathing
                   A
Wouldn't stop if I could
       F                Dm
Oh, it hurts to be this good
C                         A
You're holding on to your grudge
       F                          Dm
Oh, it hurts to always have to be honest
         A#           C
With the one that you love
C5
Oh, so let it go…
 
 
(Chorus)
 
F           A#                 Dm
We're concentrating on falling apart
           A#                        F
We were contenders, now throwin’ the fight 
             F
I just wanna believe 
             Gm
I just wanna believe
             A#
I just wanna believe
F          A#                  Dm
We're concentrating on falling apart
           A#                        F
We were contenders, now throwin’ the fight 
             F
I just wanna believe
             Gm
I just wanna believe
             A#
I just wanna believe in us

 
(Interlude)
Dm F A# x2


(Bridge)
 
Dm                     F      A#
This is the grace only we can bestow
Dm                    F        A#       Dm
This is the price you pay for loss of control
                         F
This is the break in the bend
            A#          Dm
This is the closest of calls
                          F
This is the reason you're alone
            A#           F
This is the rise and the fall!
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F            A#                  Dm
 We're concentrating on falling apart
           A#                        Dm
We were contenders, now throwin’ the fight 
             F
I just wanna believe
             Gm
I just wanna believe
             A#
I just wanna believe
 
F            A#                 Dm
 We're concentrating on falling apart
           A#                        Dm
We were contenders, now throwin’ the fight 
             F
I just wanna believe
             Gm
I just wanna believe
             A#
I just wanna believe in us

End on Dm
