Alesana - Fatal Optimist Chords

[Verse 1]
                      Em
I miss counting the stars
       Em               C            D      Bm
And I miss the way you kiss me
                         C
I miss the way you touch me
                    Em
I miss calling you mine
    Em              C
Baby you know who I am
            D           Bm                      C           D
And there's nobody I'd rather dance with in the moonlight
                   C
I just want to go back


[Refrain]
            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole
         D
This is my confession


[Chorus]
Em    C    G     D
I am no hero and I'm not a saint
Em       C       G
I can't save the world
     D
And I never asked for this
Em                     C                          G       D
In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for
 C    D            Em
Arise suspicious minds


[Verse 2]
Em                            C            D
You told yourself I was pure, certain that I would save you
B                                                C
But if it crosses your mind that I was saving myself
                          D
Remind yourself that I'm dangerous!
Em               C            D
Maybe I'm not as honest as it seems, a siren dressed in silk
Bm              C               D              C
Maybe I'm just selling a lie, a villain in disguise


[Refrain]
            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole
         D
This is my confession

[Chorus]
Em    C    G     D
I am no hero and I'm not a saint
Em       C       G
I can't save the world
     D
And I never asked for this
Em                     C                          G       D
In your eyes I see the questions I don't have the answers for
 C    D            Em
Arise suspicious minds


[Verse 3]
Em                                                D
I don't know if I'm praying, I don't know if I'm begging

But I have to believe that someone
                        C
Something out there can hear me

I have to know that there is a chance
D
I have to believe that I might escape this hell
Em
I fear I've lost myself and I don't know the way back
D
The way back to what I once was
        C                                   D
Am I Fatima? Am I Rusalka? Or am I just me? Sweet, innocent Annabel


[Bridge]
C     D       D#           Em    C   D        D#           Em
Star crossed lovers in strife embracing on a battlefield
C   D   D#       Em      C     D         B                  Em
Giving in to the fight, changing at the speed of light


[Refrain]
C            D     Em                 C
I fear the emptiness will swallow me whole
         D
This is my confession
