Standard (EADGBE)

There's a candle in the corner

 It keeps reminding me of you

It's how you lit it on my birthday

 Sometimes I miss the things you do

 But then you'd turn on me if the wind blew, baby

 And you'd sting me with a glare

 And your thirst was so insatiable

 Just to quench it robbed me bare

 I'm on broken glass.

 My bitter pill,

 that you'll love me. I know

 I been wasting time on climbing hills,

 so you'll love me. I know

 someday you will.

 Fall on my knees.

Cross-legged by the fireplace

 I played guitar while you read

My patience ran so thin with you

 You were always toying with my head

 Some how it made you strangely gleeful

 To see me longing for your touch

 And I still fail to see the humor

 in my loving you so much

 I'm on broken glass.

 My bitter pill,

 that you'll love me. I know

 I been wasting time on climbing hills,

 so you'll love me. I know

 someday you will.

 Fall on my knees.

 I said we're faced with a fact

 ‘Cause it's a high price to pay

 C'mon blue eyes that tell me you can't walk away

 If there's nothing to lose then there's nothing to gain

 C'mon stay here tonight,

 Don't drive home in the rain

And I fall on my knees

 All my pride is in your hands

We're not so strong and we've mislaid our plans

I taste the shame and I'll take the blame

 If it's my cross to bear, I said that’s fair

 I'm on broken glass.

 My bitter pill,

 that you'll love me. I know

 I been wasting time on climbing hills,

 so you'll love me. I know

 someday you will.

 Fall on my knees.
