Did you know... it was all going to go so wrong for you

And did you see it was all going to be so right for me

Why did we tell you then
F#m G F#m Em D A/C# Bm A
You were al - ways the golden boy then

And that you'd ne-ver lose that light in your eyes

Hey you... did you ever realize what you'd become

And did you see that it wasn't only me you were running from
F#m Em D A/C# Bm A
Did you know all the time but it

Leading the blind while I stared out the steel in your eyes
