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
F#               A B
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
 G                                            D
something's something's killing, something's killing me


F#  B  F#   B  B/C (2x) F#   B  (over and over then end on F#)
