Note: In the verse, FM7sus4/C, F6/D, Dsus2, D9sus4 and Dm9/C
      are the organ's "response" chords, so they can be ommited if you find it too hard (as if, right?).
      Same thing goes for G6/D, E6/B and A#m7 in the bridge section.

[Verse 1]
           D5   D5     Dsus2                  A5 G#5 G5   G5 F5 E5   A#5
And it's a combination of reality and my imagination
  A5 A5      D9sus4                        F5 E5 D5   D5 D#5 E5 E5
I cannot tolerate my anxiety for the moment
   D5 D5    Dm9/C                           A5 G#5 G5   G5 F5 E5   A#5
Hm,   I get angry at myself for trying to impress you
  A5 A5       D9sus4                            F5 E5 D5   D5 D#5
I cannot rectify my embarrassment on the subject
 
[Chorus]
E5 E5       Dm7
Always on a knife's edge, here with you
C9sus4/D       D9sus4/E
  We're fading out of view
Am7                      Am7                G9sus4/D
  You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you
Dm7   C9sus4/D
I get low with you
D9sus4/E    G9sus4
  I hate it when we're cruel
Am7                      Am7                G9sus4
  You know my worry only comes from fear of what I'd lose
 
[Verse 2]
D5 D5   Dm9/C                           A5 G#5 G5   G5 F5 E5   A#5
      I just really wanted to feel accepted
A5 A5   Dm9/C                            F5 E5 D5   D5 D#5 E5 E5
      I just really wanted to feel connected,              but I'm
D5 D5            Dm9/C                           A5 G#5 G5   G5 F5 E5   A#5
Selfish, self-centered and a little bit narcissistic
    A5 A5      Dm9/C                          F5 E5 D5   D5 D#5
And to be ever grateful would be uncharacteristic
 
[Chorus]
E5 E5       Dm7
Always on a knife's edge, here with you
C9sus4/D       D9sus4/E
  We're fading out of view
Am7                      Am7                G9sus4/D
  You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you

I get low with you
D9sus4/E    G9sus4
  I hate it when we're cruel
Am7                      Am7                G9sus4
  You know my worry only comes from fear of what I'd lose
 
[Post-Chorus]
Dm7                                                      C9sus4/D  D9sus4/E
  I love that I can say I wouldn't feel this way without love
             Am7                                                    Am7 G9sus4
Oh wu-wu-wuh,  I love that I can say I wouldn't be this way without you
 
[Bridge]
A5 A5     G6/D                                     D5 D5   C5 B5 B5
   I'm willing to get better from no disease at all
F5 E5 E5   G6/D                                   A5 A5   A5 A#5 B5 B5
      I'm addicted and conflicted at my very core
    B5 B5    E6/B                            E5 E5   C#5 C#5
Hmm,     but love is a phenomenon and on and on, ooh
 G5    F#5  F#5 A#m7                            B5 B5   B5 C5 C#5 C#5
Achievable, intellectual and emotionally viable
 
[Chorus]
            Bm7
Always on a knife's edge, here with you
A9sus4/B       B9sus4/C#
  We're fading out of view
F#m7                     F#m7               E9sus4/B
  You know my worry only comes from wanting more for you
Bm7   A9sus4/B
I get low with you
B9sus4/C#   E9sus4
  I hate it when we're cruel
F#m7                     F#m7               E9sus4
  You know my worry only comes from fear of what I'd lose
 
[Post-Chorus]
Bm7                                                      A9sus4/B  B9sus4/C#
  I love that I can say I wouldn't feel this way without you
       F#m7                                                   F#m7 E9sus4
Ah woo,  I love that I can say I wouldn't be this way without you
