Collide

This starts with a piano solo, which I didn't tab,
but here are the chords in case you want 'em.

Intro: F# E Em B F# E Em B

Guitar comes in with: F# A B (3x) G D


Vs 1 (bass only):

F# B
Open up your box of sunshine
F# B
and smile as confetti comes raining down on you
F# B
You feel a lot like the good guy, but do you know why
F#
Everything's so blue


Vs 2 (guitar comes in):

F# B
Well, love is fire and the coals are barely burning
F# B
Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place
F# B
I taught you the walk but then you ran away from me

and that's not how it's supposed to be


Chorus:
F# A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
F# A B
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
F# A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
G D
something's killing me


Vs 3:
F# B
Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down
F# B
the chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall
F# B
you're waiting for the ax to fall
Bsus4
Can't you see it lying on the ground?


Bridge:

F# E Em B

F# E Em B
You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
B
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one.

F# B (3x) G D

Chorus after bridge:
F# A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
F# A B
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
F# A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
G
something's killing me

F# A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
F# A B
I know there's something else it's supposed to be

something's something's killing, something's killing me
