F              C
This life is a paradox
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F             C
This love is a paradox
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me


[Verse 1]
F             C
   Just like a desert needs a flood
Dm C
   I still need your love
F            C
   No matter what, I'll hold my ground
Dm           C
 Even if I'm drowning, yeah


[Pre-Chorus]
F              C                     Dm    C
 It's just the nature of keeping you close
                  F
It's the ones you care for
          C            Dm   C
That will hurt you the most
F       C             Dm     C
Nothing drops me from so high
    F        C        Dm         C
You leave me fighting for my life


[Chorus]
F                          C
 Out of all the times I've opened up
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F                      C
 Out of all the stupid things I've done
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me, yeah
F              C
This life is a paradox
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F              C
This love is a paradox
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me


[Verse 2]
F           C
  Yeah, you kiss me when I'm down
Dm        C
  And you suck the poison out
F          C
  Then you make me sick again
Dm                      C
  'Cause you've got the medicine


[Pre-Chorus]
F               C                     Dm    C
  It's just the nature of loving you, girls
                  F
It's the ones you fight for
          C            Dm      C
That will conquer your world, ooh


[Chorus]
F                          C
 Out of all the times I've opened up
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F                      C
 Out of all the stupid things I've done
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me, yeah
F              C
This life is a paradox
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F              C
This love is a paradox
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me
F              C
This life is a paradox
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F              C
This love is a paradox
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me


[Verse 3]
F     C
  I'm bracing for the worst
Dm    C
  And hoping for the best
F C
  Trying to make sense of
Dm               F
  The madness in my head


[Pre-Chorus]
F          C                       Dm
  It's the problem with keeping me close
C                     F
  The people you hold on to
        C            Dm  C
Are the ones who let go


[Outro]
F                C
  This life is a paradox
Dm                              C
You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F              C
This love is a paradox
Dm                                C
You're the only thing that almost killed me
F C Dm                              C
    You're the only one who saw the real me, yeah
F C Dm                                C
    You're the only thing that almost killed me
