Balancing Game

G#m E You can't have glory without the pain F# G#m You can't have freedom without the chains G#m E It's a fragile existence, a delicate system F# G#m This life is a balancing game G#m E I thought I could tip the scales, cheat the game Have the sun without the rain F# Take your love and not exchange G#m My heart for yours, I guess that it's me to blame G#m So this is what I've found E From the bridges I've burned down F# That it all comes back around G#m Now I know G#m E You can't have glory without the pain F# G#m You can't have freedom without the chains G#m E It's a fragile existence, a delicate system F# G#m This life is a balancing game G#m So then I called you up to make amends E Said "take me back" and you said "yes" F# Now I know just how it ends G#m You played the game like me, it was all pretend G#m So this is what I've learned E You can't take and not return F# Because one day you'll get burned G#m And now I know G#m E You can't have glory without the pain F# G#m You can't have freedom without the chains G#m E It's a fragile existence, a delicate system F# G#m This life is a balancing game
