[Intro]
D  Bm  G  A
[Verse 1]
Trying to see the silDver
It should be on the eBmdge
Well, I'm here looking oGver the linings in my Ahead
And I don't see you as the Dproblem
I don't see you at Bmall
This city has a Gcycle that beautiful reAvolves
It's only as a Gcon-se-Bmquence of growing up with Gcon-fi-Bmdence
that you think there's no Gproblems Bmwhen they're just iAgnored
[Chorus 1]
   DShoot me Bmdown, because Gyou don't need me to get off the Aground
And I Gknow it's not my pDlace to F#mtry and make you Bmchange, bAut you can cGut deep
So be careAful, honDeyD  
[Verse 2]
  AMaybe you meant to Dbe here
Maybe it was your Bmphone
But maybes are just a Gshoulder for my egoD  
Maybes don't make me less Aalone
I've waited for an Dhour as any good man Bmwould, 
and the only con-sol-Gation was the waitress thought my cardigan looked Agood
But I wasn't in my Gfavorite sBmhirt for someone who was pGaid to wBmork
I'm not ashamed to Gsay it Bmhurt to be stood Aup
[Chorus 2]
   DShoot me Bmdown, because Gyou don't need me to get off the groundA  
And I Gknow it's not my pDlace to F#mtry and make you Bmchange, bAut you can cGut deep
And everAyone Dsees
[Bridge]
It's Glikely to be funBmny when we'rGe at the same tabBmle again, and I'll Gsay Sunday wasBmn't quite as cArowded
You'll lGaugh, and give me some Bmexcuse that GI don't need cause iBmt's not you
It's Gwhat mistakes Bmand make-ups has amounAted
[Chorus 3]
DShoot me doBmwn, I'm just Gone pilot there's plenty mAore around
GAnd I know it's just this Dplace that might F#mhave made you chanBmge
Not even Atwen-Gty and aAlready clubBmbing
Oh you can cut Gdeep, and Aeveryone Bmsees
Oh you can cut Gdeep, so be cAareful ho-Dney

G D

But maybes are just a shoulder for my ego
