Capo 1
Intro: A E F#m D (X2)
This [A]story lying inside my head
[E]He spun gold and straw instead
[F#m]Cut your hand on the spinning wheel
[D]This shield is getting heavy
[A]And worked too much and [E]tried too hard
To[F#m] lose, oh to l[D]ose
Solo - A E F#m D
Play it safe you say
I cant get through this alone
This cross we carry on our backs
Its just one big balancing act
Chorus:
And[A] do you think I'd [E]try
To [F#m]leave with[D]out you by my side
Th[A]ose stone walls too [E]steep
To [F#m]keep this [D]baby locked inside
Bridge:
[F#m]Call it crazy but
[E]This price is just too much for [A]me
Put your white glove in my [D]hand
I'm trying to be your [F#m]man
This is all that I can [E]take
To mend these rules you[A] break
I'll be the floodgate that [D]sets you free, yeah
Solo - A E F#m D (X2)
[A]And worked too much and [E]tried too hard
To [F#m]lose, oh to [D]lose
Chorus
Repeat intro chords until end, end on A
