Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm[D][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D]
[Am]standing on the cliff top,
watchin' storm clouds grow
It's disappointment time again,
I've been up here before
The wind balloons my jacket,
seabirds collide below
A pier stands on a hundred stilts,
[Em]some stranded [Am]UFO
I've stopped the car,
in a dead end street
Rear view mirror,
nothing but empty seats
I could brace myself,
smash through the concrete
Find what's behind that wall of insecurity
[Em]From[C] gin and jags,[D]
to squalor and [C]scab
[D]Selena, what a [C]drag
Once we [D]were, back to [C]back
Almost there, but [D]white was [Em]black
Why [Bm]me, designed to comp[Em]ete
[Bm]Always, flirtin' with de[Em]feat
Why me, [Bm]I knew it when we met
[Em]Hell, what [Bm]else could you expect
Why [Em]me, [Bm]hungry for affection
[Em]It ends, [Bm]with chaos and re
[Em]jection[C][Am]
[Em]
[Am]Through the wall and over the cliff
I made the decision,
you took quite a risk
Selena says, as she strokes my head
With luck like yours, you should be [Em]dead
[C]Forget the[D] past and melt
my silver [C]spoon
[D]Selena, not a minute too [C]soon
Broke the chains [D]of negativity
[C]At last [D]I score a victory
[Em]Why [Bm]me, no need to
com[Em]pete
[Bm]Nowadays, I think at de[Em]feat
She's me, I [Bm]felt it when me met
[Em]That feel, can[Bm]cels all [Em]regret
Me, [Bm]the center of attrac[Em]tion
The end, [Bm]adds to your
confusion
[Em]I'm standin' [Bm]on the cliff top, w[Em]aving, w[Bm]aving[Em][Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][Bm]
[Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm][Em][Am][Bm]
[Em]Why [Bm]me, no need to compete
[Em]Nowadays, [Bm]I wink at defeat
She's [Em]me, [Bm]I felt it when we met
[Em]That feel, can[Bm]cels all regret
Still [Em]me, [Bm]the center of attraction
The [Em]end, [Bm]adds to your
confusion
[Em]I'm standin', [Bm]on the cliff top
[Em]Waitin' [Bm]for the cops

[Outro 1]
