Vera Blue - Pedestal/Cover Me

[Intro]

C#m7 B F#

[Verse 1]

C#m7 B F#sus4

I put myself up on your shelf

C#m7 B F#sus4

You gave it all and nothing else

C#m7 B F#sus4

But no one can live up to these high expectations of mine

C#m7 B F#sus4

But that doesn't mean that you resist the temptation to try

C#m7 B F# C#m7 B F#

I remember just how it felt to be loved, to be held

[Pre-chorus]

C#m7 B F#sus4

No one can live up to these high expectations of mine

C#m7 B F#sus4 F#

Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

[Chorus]

E B D#m G#m E B D#m

I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down

E B D#m G#m E B D#m

Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

[Verse 2]

C#m7 B F#sus4

Don't act surprised when we both know

C#m7 B F#sus4

It's just the way, the way it goes

C#m7 B F#sus4

I never wanted to leave, but never needed to stay

C#m7 B F#sus4 F#

The harder I tried to keep, the harder it was to change

[Chorus]

E B D#m G#m E B D#m

I'm up high, circling around, just waiting to be let down, so let me down

E B D#m G#m E B D#m

Terrified, so I pretend there's reasons for us to end, all over again

[Interlude]

E B F#

E G#m D#m

[Bridge]

E B F#

If we fall, if we fall on you

E G#m D#m

Would you fall, would you fall on me

E B F#

If we fall, if we fall on you

E G#m D#m

Would you fall, would you fall on me

[Pre-chorus]

C#m7 B F#sus4

No one can live up to these high expectations of mine

C#m7 B F#sus4

Now I built a wall that is ten foot tall, and no man can climb

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

F# D#m

Cover me, every piece

G#m F#

When I can't control myself

D#m A#m B

I wouldn't be with anybody else

F# D#m

Cover me, never lead

G#m F#

I might be strong on my own

D#m A#m B

But you're the better half that makes me whole

F# D#m

Cover me in your truth

G#m F#

Forget all the perfect words

D#m A#m B

It's everyday that you show me proof

F# D#m

Forgive me, like you do

G#m F#

When I try, but I fail

D#m A#m B

When I'm none of these things to you
