You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio

You say your quest is to bring it higher
D
Em
Well I never seen change without a fire
Am
Em
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
D
But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
Am
Em
Your face, the colours change from green to yellow
D
Em
To the point where you can't even say hello
Am
Em
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
D
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about

G
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
C
G
Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
C
Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!),
Em
turn in the spitfire (open fire!)
Am
Scream without making a sound (open fire!),
C
be up here and not look down (open fire!)
D
because we're all afraid of heights
{Chorus2}
Am
Em

I remember the days__ when I was__ so eager_ to satisfy you_

and still you curse the day__ I decided__ to_ STAY TRUE TO MY__
