The Archer

[Intro]
| C | - |

[Verse 1]
G      Am                 F
Combat,  I'm ready for combat
                  G
I say I don't want that,
   Am             F
but  what if I do?
       G      Am              F
'Cause cruelty  wins in the movies
          G
I've got a hundred thrownout
Am                     F
Speeches I almost said to you

[Pre-Chorus]
  C
Easy they come, easy they go
      G
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
    Am
I never grew up, it's getting so old
    F
Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]
                C          G            F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
    G              F
But who could stay?

[Verse 2]
G         Am                  F
Dark side,  I search for your dark side
                G
But what if I'm alright,
Am            F
Right, right, right here?
      G      Am                     F
And I cut off  my nose just to spite my face
                     G   Am
Then I hate my reflection
                   F
For years and years

[Pre-Chorus]
      C
I wake in the night, I pace like a ghost
    G
The room is on fire, invisible smoke
       Am
And all  of my heroes die all alone
    F
Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]
                C          G            F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
Screaming,
               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
    G              F
But who could stay?

[Bridge]
           C
'Cause they see right through me
They see right through me
    G
They see right through
Can you see right through me?
    Am
They  see right through
They see right through me
 F
I see right through me
I see right through me

[Pre-Chorus]
   C
All the king's horses,
all the king's men
     G
Couldn't put me together again
          Am
'Cause all  of my enemies
Started out friends
    F
Help me hold on to you

[Chorus]
                C          G            F
I've been the archer, I've been the prey
               Am
Who could ever leave me, darling
    G              F
But who could stay?
         C
Who could stay?

[Outro]
G              F
Who could stay?
               Am
Who could stay?
G             F
You could stay
          C   G
You could stay
F Am          G            F  C
  Combat, I'm ready for combat
