Capo 1 in key of C mimics Emery's usual tuning.  Intro and Bridge may be off.

Intro: F5 (fingerpick)      A5  F5  B5

Verse 1:
A5                                         C5
I fell in love with the world, she gave me everything that I deserved
        D5                    F5                G5
(I had) all that I wanted and more right in my hands
      E5
(but some things just never last)
A5                                       C5
She ran away with the sun (I guess), the moon and the stars must have followed along
           D5                        F5             G5
'Cause I'm here in the cold and the dark until she returns
E5
(deny because the truth really hurts)


Chorus: 
F5                         A5                                     F5
The universe is crumbling tonight, and I'm not sure if we can survive
F5                                 D5       E5
You left me here with nothing at all, with my back against the wall

Verse 2: (same chords as verse 1)
The church and the priests they all gather around
They tie up my hands but they won't hear me out
No, I'm not the one, I'm not the one to blame (murder me just the same)
She hung her promises (I took the bait)
She sold us out (Just for fortune and fame)
No, she's not the one, she's not the one to save
(the fool that fell into her game)

Chorus 2:  same but end with

Bridge:
F5
So is this what it takes to seperate the craving from the purpose
A5
Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
           F5
And we are crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure
                   E5
that is put on our shoulders but
            F5                   C5
We could be honest, confess our weakness
            D5                 A5    E5             A5     C5    F5    E5
Give up our innocence for the blame, we could be saved

Finish with chorus
