Intro:
E5 E5
Verse:
B5
Life on the margins
A5
Little looks we have to steal
E5 B5 F#5
I want to run like vagrants hand in hand across this field
E5 B5 F#5
But I know the way you are I could fall into the star
E5 B5 A5 A5 E5 E5
But it's not easy for everybody to fall in love
Verse:
The city walls are reigning perilous and tall over dark chilling streets
It's not weakness when you fall
Oh it's just too much too fast
Crash that column into the wall
Don't let them tell you that there's a right way to fall in love
E5
And she says
Prechorus:
A5
I want to live my life
A5
Don't want to waste my time
A5 B5
I want a man who makes me feel like a woman
Chorus:
E5 B5
I used to be your biggest fan
C#5
I used to be your biggest fan
A5
Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation
E5 Ab5
I used to be your biggest fan
C#5
I used to be your biggest fan
A5 B5 C#5 C(once)
And now I know that you could never love someone like me
Verse:
I used to run with my whiskers to the sun
I used to shove my weakness like a bullet shoots a gun
But I say
Close in on me, my foundations came undone
I said, why oh why is there so much hate in this world
Verse:
N.C. A7(same as verse from now on)
Belt out a song, some vicious call-to-arms gone wrong
But we've tended now we're going fifty thousand strong
This one's a dream so shut your mouth and sing along
Oh the science of music is all stupid and cruel
Prechorus:
And I know I want to live my life
Don't want to waste my time
Trying to strike the right lyrical density
Chorus:
I used to be your biggest fan
I used to be your biggest fan
Now I find that you are slipping in my estimation
I used to be your biggest fan
I used to be your biggest fan
E5 E5
But now I know that you could never love someone like me
E5 A5
And I know I want to live my life
Aaug
Don't want to waste my time
F#5 A5
I want to be the toast of the shanty-town
D5
You stick around a while
D5
And you cut your teeth
E5
You can't go home
E5
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
I used to be
E5
I used to be your biggest fan
B5
And then I saw you in a doorway
C#5 A5
For a moment you looked tender and I knew
E5 Ab5 C#5 E5
That I could never ever ever ever ever ever touch you
A5
Because you might, oh you might touch back
C#5 B5 A5
Oh yes, you might, oh you might touch back
E5 Ab5
Well I made a mistake, well I made two
C#5 E5
One for me and one for you
A5
And then I knew
C#5 B5 A5
That I would measure everybody against you
C#5 B5 A5
Yes I would measure everybody against you
E5
Well I used to be
Ab5
I used to be
C#5
I used to be
B5
I used to be
A5
I used to be
