C#m                      E
I flew too close to the sun
                            A  B
Fell back to Earth like a stone
C#m                  E
I got too high on myself
                         A
Too young and stupid to tell

A       B              A        B
I was bound to make a mess of things
                     G#m  C#m
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
                         A         B
Now I'm out to make you fall with me

Chorus:
           A
I let you down
B                          C#m
I've been clumsy with your heart again
E                       A
I guess you figured me out
B                            C#m
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
E
(I let you down)

Caught at the end of a lifeline
The catch of a lifetime
(Should've known, should've known, should've known)
Oh, we were destined for danger
Familiar strangers
(Should've known, should've known)

We were bound to make a mess of things
Mixin' fireworks and gasoline
Never meant to make you fall with me

Chorus:
           A
I let you down
B                          C#m
I've been clumsy with your heart again
E                       A
I guess you figured me out
B                            C#m     E
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
        A                      B
And for all this pain, that I can't explain
          C#m                  E
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
                    A
You know I let you down
B                          C#m        E
I've been clumsy with your heart again

C#m                      E
Turn the desert all to glass
                            A
Droppin' bombs on future's past
                       B
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
C#m                      E
Turn the desert all to glass
                            A
Droppin' bombs on future's past
                       B
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
C#m                      E
Turn the desert all to glass
                            A
Droppin' bombs on future's past
                       B
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
C#m                      E
Turn the desert all to glass
                            A
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left

Chorus:
I let you down
I've been clumsy with your heart again
I guess you figured me out
Now here's a taste of my own medicine
And for all this pain that I can't explain
There's a black flag wavin' tonight
You know I let you down (I let you down)
I've been clumsy with your heart again

Turned the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
Turned the desert all to glass
Droppin' bombs on future's past
Nothing left for us, shadows dancin' in the ash
