Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Give me your black  lungs, and your  blue eyes
 And we'll trade  them in for a new  disguise
 Give me your best  bet, and your worst  lie
 And we'll fill  them in with a straighter  line
 You could be everything  I wanted
 If you'd just  give up on holding  back
 And I've never  lost so many words for kissing  just one girl
  You've got potential.
 Wait  for it, wait for nights that compliment  you
 Ignore  the girls that just  resent you
 It's easier to pretend  you don't care  at all
 Now wait  for it, wait for boys that overwhelm  you
Tell  them that you're not  that type of girl
 And you would rather  sit and talk  about your goals
 Give me your black  lungs, and your blue  eyes
 And we'll trade  them in for a new  disguise
 Give me your best  bet, and your worst  lie
 And we'll fill  them in with a straighter  line
 You could be everything  I wanted
 If you'd just  give up on holding  back
 And I've never  lost so many words for kissing  just one girl
  You've got potential.
 Repeat Chorus here (Wait for it, wait for nights that...), but with different words. The
 pattern is the same. And then the bridge:
 Well I tried.......
 Well I tried.......
 Well I tried  to make you see that you lost  reality  somewhere
 I tried........
(No  words here)
 Give me your black  lungs, and your  blue eyes
 And we'll trade  them in for a new  disguise
 Give me your best  bet, and your worst  lie
 And we'll fill  them in with a straighter  line
 You could be everything  I wanted
 If you'd just  give up on holding  back
 And I've never  lost so many words for kissing  just one girl
 You've got potential.
 end on E, let ring.
 Pretty easy for the rhythm parts; there are a few arpeggios scattered throughout the
 but those are just variations of the A chord that's used in the song, so you should be able
 figure them out.
