Intro 
Am  C  F  (x2) 

verse 1 
Am                    C             F   C 
Let's try to end on a pleasant note 
Am                          C              F    C 
You've ended endless things and you how it goes 
Am                         C                            F 
You'd lick your wounds but they're in a jar on the shelf 
Am                    G              F        C 
You lick a stamp on a letter to your old self 
                                                  F 
You always liked being good at things, didn't you 
Am                    C                     F  C 
Isn't it funny what a person can get used to 
       Dm                          F 
And now, just look what you've done 
  Dm               C                      F 
I hope you're happy, 'cause you've beaten everyone 
  Dm                              C                F 
I think it's fair to say that the word is all over town 
 
       Am

Instrumental 
Am  C  F    x2 

verse 2 
Am                    C                         F 
You're really good at making introverted people come 
Am                  C                    F 
First grade, fourth place, standing broad jump 
Am                     C 
Violent and velvet painting 
F 
Slaughtering and ego-taming 
    Dm 
You clocked one thousand hours, baby 
C                          F     Am 
You could master all of them 
C                 F                                     Am 
You can take your everlasting love and you can have it 
C                F 
Though you don't always get to pick what you get good at 
C  Dm             F 
Now, look how far you've come 
Dm                   C 
You used to need them 
                  F    C        F 
And now you could lose every one 
Dm                          C 
Without even blinking an eye 
         F                 C 
So go on, put on your crown 

Am 
Did she answer? (No) 
        C 
Did she answer? (No) 
        F 
Did she answer? (No) 
            Am 
Not a single heartbeat? (No) 
        C 
So it's over? (Yes) 
       F              Dm  C 
So you know the drill 
G 
You're the expert 
Dm             F                              C         Dm  F
