[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Here you [D]sit [A]on your
high- backed [D]chair
Wonder how the view is from there
I wouldn't [A]know 'cause I like [D]to sit
Upon [G]the floor, yeah [A]upon the [D]floor
[A]If you

[Verse 2]
like we could play a game
Let's pre[D]tend [A]that we are the sam[D]e
But you will have to look much closer
[G]Than you [A]do, closer than you do

[Verse 3]
And I'm far too [A]tired
to stay here anymore
And I [G]don't care what [A]you
think anyway
'Cause I [G]think you [A]were
wrong about me
Yeah what if [D]you [G]were, wha[A]t if you were
And what [D]if

[Verse 4]
I'm a [A]snowstorm burning
What [Bm]if I'[G]m a world unturning
What [D]if I'm an [A]ocean
Far too shal[Bm]low, much too [G]deep
What [D]if

[Verse 5]
I'm the [A]kindest demon
[Bm]Something you may [G]not believe in
What if [D]I'm [A]a siren
Singing gentle[Bm]men [G]to sleep

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][Am][C][D]

[Verse 6]
I know [D]you've got it figured out
Tell me what I am all about
And I just might learn a thing or two
Hundred [G]about [A]you, maybe about you
I'm [D]the

[Verse 7]
end of your telescope
I don't change just to suit
your vis[A]ion
'Cause I [D]am bound by a fraying rope
[G]Around [D]my [G]hands, tied [A]around my hands
[D]And you[G] close your

[Verse 8]
eyes
When [A]I say I'm breaking free
And put [G]your hands [A]over
both your ears
Because you can[G]not stand to
[A]believe I'm not
The perfect girl [G]you thought
Well what have [A]I got to lose
And what [D]if

[Verse 9]
I'm a weep[A]ing willow
Laugh[Bm]ing tears u[G]pon my pillow
What if [D]I'm [A]a socialite
Who want[Bm]s to be al[G]one

[Verse 10]
What [D]if I'm [A]a toothless leopard
What [Bm]if I'[G]m a
sheepless shepherd
What [D]if I'm an [A]angel
Without wing[Bm]s to take me
[G]home

[Interlude 2]
[C][Am][D][A][Bm]

[Verse 11]
You don't [G]know [D]me
Never [A]will, never [Bm]will
I'm out[G]side your [D]picture frame
And [A]the glass is breaking [Bm]now

[Verse 12]
You can't [G]see [D]me
Never [A]will, never [G]will
If you're never gonna see

[Verse 13]
What [D]if I'm [A]a crowded desert
Too [Bm]much pain with [G]little pleasure
What [D]if I'm the [A]nicest place
You nev[Bm]er want to go[G]

[Verse 14]
What [D]if I don't [A]know who I am
Will [Bm]that keep us [G]both from trying
To [D]find out and [A]when you have
Be [Bm]sure to let me [G]know[A]

[Verse 15]
What [D]if I'm [A]a snowstorm burning
What [Bm]if I'm a wo[G]rld unturning
What [D]if I'm an [A]ocean
Far too shal[Bm]low, much too [G]deep

[Verse 16]
What [D]if I'm the [A]kindest demon
[Bm]Something you may [G]not believe in
What [D]if I'm [A]a siren
Singing gen[Bm]tlemen [G]to sleep[A][Bm]

[Verse 17]
[G]Sleep[A]
[Bm]Slee[G]p
