[INTRO]
F Bsus4 Cm F Bsus4
[VERSE ONE]
F Bsus4 If all mistakes were made in stone
Cm I'd build a wall so tall you'd see for miles
F Bsus4 F And every man and child would come to see
F Bsus4 Stand and laugh at me
Bsus4 Cm Like you would not believe, and I can't blame 'em
F Bsus4 It's kind of funny when you start to
[PRE CHORUS]
F/Gm Think about the kind of fool
F F Who breaks his heart as often as the moon
F Bsus4 Shows its face to you
F/Gm And I regret to say, politely,
F F I'm the guy who'll more than likely lose
F Bsus4 Like I always do
[CHORUS]
F So, tell me, are you running scared
Bsus4 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair?
Cm F/Gm F Bsus4 F Well, baby, I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up
Bsus4 Everything I've ever loved
Cm G#m F Bsus4 F 'Cause I wrote the book, the study of the ancient art of always fucking up
[VERSE TWO]
F Bsus4 May I have your attention please?
Cm Step right up and see the most amazing
F Bsus4 F The absolutely mind inflaming show
F Bsus4 About a boy who sold his soul
Bsus4 Cm For a shot at love and gold
Cm F Bsus4 And he almost made it but lost it on the way, the story goes
[PRE CHORUS]
F/Gm Now he's the kind of fool
F F Who breaks his heart as often as the moon
F Bsus4 Shows its face to you
G#m And I regret to say, politely,
F F I'm the guy who'll more than likely lose
Bsus4 Like I always do
[CHORUS]
F So, tell me, are you running scared
Bsus4 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair?
Cm F/Gm F Bsus4 F Well, baby, I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up
Bsus4 Everything I've ever loved
Cm F/Gm They fall from me like autumn leaves
F Bsus4 F The wake, I make it scattered with debris
Bsus4 Of everything that could have been
Cm 'Cause I wrote the book,
F/Gm F Bsus4 Cm the study of the ancient art of always fucking up
[BRIDGE]
Cm Bsus4 And I'm plagued by design
Bsus4 F Forget all my lines
F Bsus4 Cm I've burned all my blessings more than half the time
Cm Bsus4 Been trapped in my ways
Bsus4 F But I'm desperate to change
F Bsus4 So, let me know if you'll stay
[CHORUS]
F So, tell me, are you running scared
Bsus4 'Cause you know that I'm beyond repair?
Cm F/Gm F Bsus4 F Well, baby, I'm a master of the ancient art of always fucking up
Bsus4 Everything I've ever loved
Cm 'Cause I wrote the book,
F/Gm F Bsus4 F the study of the ancient art of always fucking up
