Am        G      C          F            Am
Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
     G         C       F
I'd save you from yourself
     Am       G      C        F
And sometimes I wish I could take somethin'
    Am          G          C       F
A little bit stronger to drown you out
                Am  G
Were you ever happy
    F                   F   G Am
Or did I read you all wrong?
                  Am   G
Were you still in mending
F                         F
While I left your lights on?
       G         Am
Lights on, lights on, lights on

Chorus:
Am    G   F
All this time
                     Am
I've been wastin' my mind
           G          F
I've been wastin' my mind
Am    G   F
All this time
                      Am
I've been wastin' my mind
           G          F
I've been wastin' my mind

Am        G      C          F            Am
Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
     G         C       F
I'd save you from yourself

You're keeping a straight face
So what am I to do?
And when you look in the mirror
Am I still looking at you?
Taking my all, you were drowning us dead
'Cause ever since the fall you've been hidin'
what you meant
And I wish I saw all the doubt that you felt
'Cause now you're out, now you're out

Chorus - x2

Sometimes I wish I was the hero in your story
I'd save you from yourself
And sometimes I wish I could take something
A little bit stronger to drown you out
