Capo 1 in key of C mimics Emery's usual tuning. Intro and Bridge may be off.
Intro: F (fingerpick) Am F Bm7
Verse 1:
[Am]I fell in love with the world, she gave me [C]everything that I deserved
(I had) [Dm]all that I wanted and [F]more right in my [G]hands
(but s[E]ome things just never last)
[Am]She ran away with the sun (I guess), the [C]moon and the stars must have followed along
'Cause I'm [Dm]here in the cold and the d[F]ark until she [G]returns
[E](deny because the truth really hurts)
Chorus:
[F]The universe is crumbling [Am]tonight, and I'm not sure if we can sur[F]vive
[F]You left me here with nothing at a[Dm]ll, with [E]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:
[F]So is this what it takes to seperate the craving from the purpose
[Am]Measured by success and not the motives of the heart
And we are [F]crushed beneath the weight of all the pressure
that is put on our [E]shoulders but
We could be [F]honest, confess our [C]weakness
Give up our [D]innocence for the [A]blame[E], we could be [Am]saved[C][F][E]
Finish with chorus
