Precious Illusions Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You'll rescue me, right?
In the exact same [C]way they never did
[D]I'll be happy, right?
When your healing [C]powers [D]kick [C]in

[Verse 2]
[D]You'll complete me, right?
Then my life can [C]fi nally begin
[D]I'll be worthy, right?
Only when you [C]realize the gem I am?

[Verse 3]
But this [D]won't work [G]now,
[C]the way it [D]once did
And I won't keep it [G]up even
[C]though I [D]would love to
Once I know who I'm [G]not,
then I'll [C]know who I [D]am
But I know I won't [G]keep on
play[C]ing the victim
These [D]precious illu

[Verse 4]
[C]sions in my [G]head
Did not let me [D]down when
I was defense[C]less
And parting with [G]them is like parting
[F]with [C]invisible best [D]friends

[Verse 5]
This [D]ring will help me yet, as will [C]you,
knight in shining armor
[D]This pill will help me yet,
as will these [C]boys gone through like water

[Verse 6]
But this [D]won't work as [G]well as
[C]the way it once [D]did
'Cause I want to [G]decide between
sur[C]vival an[G]d bliss
[D]And though I know who I'm not[G],
I still don't [C]know who [D]I am
But I know I won't [G]keep on
play[C]ing the victim
These [D]precious illu

[Verse 7]
[C]sions in my [G]head
Did not let me [D]down when I was a [C]kid
And parting with [G]them is like parting with
[F]a c[C]hildhood best friend
[D]

[Verse 8]
[G]I've spent so [Bb]long firmly
[F]looking [D]outside me
[G]I've spent [Gm]so mu[Bb]ch time living
[F]in sur[A]vival mode

[Verse 9]
But this [D]won't work now,
[C]the way [D]it once did
'Cause I want to [G]decide between
sur[D]vival and bliss
And though I know who I'm [G]not,
I still [C]don't know who I [D]am
But I know I won't [G]keep on
play[C]ing the victim
These [D]precious illu

[Verse 10]
[C]sions in my [G]head
Did not let me [D]down when
I was defense[C]less
And parting with [G]them is like parting with
an in[F]visible [Em]best fr[C]iend
[D]

[Verse 11]
These precious illu[C]sions in my [G]head
Did not let [D]me down when I was a [C]kid
And parting with [G]them is like parting with [F]a childhood
[C]best friend
