A                D
I just looked into my life
             Bm        F#m
And all I saw was that you're not coming back
     D           Bm         C#m
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
Bm             E
It comes like me?

But I won't be afraid
I can't seem to find you in this midnight parade
I know it's all true
When the ballad comes for me, it comes like you

Chorus:
Gmaj7   F#m
Up close
           C
I fell in love with you
C
(I met you at an early show)
Gmaj7    F#m C
You fall,    I'll fall along with you
C                                     Gmaj7
(We travelled 'round the world together)

I just looked out to the point
Where the words, they are hitting me
In a full-on assault
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me?

Well, I know I can't change the times
I know I'm already breaking when
I look into your eyes
Oh, can't you see when the ballad comes for you
It comes like me?
