Intro: E--C#m---E--C#m

Verse 1: Bass and guitar 2 only here
B
  The hand of my clock strikes two
   C#m
In times when I got the best of you
        B
We made promises we couldn't keep
    A
And every night we couldn't sleep
B                                       C#m
  I didn't know why, but didn't ask questions
                   B
because it was the first time in my life 
         A
yeah the first time in my life
      E(hold)
Where I, did something right


Chorus:
E      C#m           A
  I set myself up for the 
                     B
greatest fall of all time
(repeat)


Post Chorus: C#m


Verse 2:
            B
You pick me apart
      
While I search for witty 
A
things to say (In my defense)
        B
"You'll never amount to anything anyway"
                                         C#m
(Don't press your luck, don't press your luck)
                     B
And think that I'm impressed 
with your one night stands
    A               B
and your contagious kiss
                       C#m(hold)-B(hold)
I'm trying to get this right
    A(hold)
Yeah, cause I'm ridiculous like that


(Repeat Chorus)


Interlude: C#m---A---C#m---E--F#m-G (x2)


Bridge:
E(hold)
  I'll keep this as
C#m            A
  A constant reminder
Of the nights I spent
        B    E
holding onto her
                     C#m
And rest assured I'm moving on
  A
I miss you less, with each day 
B
you're 
E(distortion) C#m         A    B(hold and fast palm mute)
gone              (you're gone)


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro: C#m---B---A(hold)---B--E(end)
