Nate Poshkus - Lead Me On

[Verse]
Bb
If I kept a list of every
D
Single second that I’ve lived
Eb
There’s no way in the world
F
That my list would line up with yours
Bb
If I saw your top ten seconds
D
I wouldn’t make an honorable mention
Eb
But if you need a temporary love
F
I’d be number one

[Chorus]
Bb
And you’d lead me on
D
Make me need you
Eb
Waste my time
Ebm
I’ll run the race but I’ll never reach the finish line

[Verse]
Bb
Seconds are a bit specific
D
But even if the list was minutes
Eb
There’s no doubt in my mind
F
That yours would not compare to mine
Bb
I know that you’ll end it all
D
And make our seconds expendable
Eb
But don’t you dare take my hand
F
I’ll write this list again

[Chorus]
Bb
And you’d lead me on
D
Make me need you
Eb
Waste my time
F
I’ll run the race but I’ll never reach the finish line
Bb
Lead me on
D
Tell me how much you like me
Eb
Take my life
Ebm
I’ll do my best but there’s no way that I’ll win this fight

[Bridge]
Bb
Love me like you mean it
D
For the short time that we spend
Eb
And when you leave, do it quietly
Bb F
So I don’t think that it’s the end
Bb
We were never special
Dm
I was not too blind for that
Eb
You know passion doesn’t make up
F
For the sympathy lack

[Chorus]
Bb
And you’d lead me on
D
Make me need you
Eb
Waste my time
F
I’ll run the race but I’ll never reach the finish line
Bb
Lead me on
D
Tell me how much you like me
Eb
Take my life
F
I’ll do my best but there’s no way that I’ll win this fight
Bb
Lead me on
D
Make me need you
Eb
Waste my time
Ebm
I’ll run the race but I’ll never reach the finish line
