Next To Me by Imagine Dragons – Lyrics with Chords

[Intro]
 
D     G     Bm  A      D
 
[Verse 1]
D
Something about the way that you walked into my living room
G
Casually and confident lookin' at the mess I am
    Bm           A                D
But still you, still you want me
D
Stress lines and cigarettes, politics and deficits
G
Late bills and overages, screamin' and hollerin'
    Bm          A                  D
But still you, still you want me
 
 
[Chorus]
D                     G
Oh, I always let you down
                        Bm
You're shattered on the ground
                     A
But still I find you there
        D
Next to me
    D                   G
And oh, stupid things I do
                        Bm
I'm far from good, it's true
                 A
But still I find you
        D
Next to me (next to me)
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
There's something about the way that you always see the pretty view
G
Overlook the blooded mess, always lookin' effortless
     Bm          A                 D
And still you, still you want me
D
I got no innocence, faith ain't no privilege
G
I am a deck of cards, vice or a game of hearts
    Bm          A                  D
And still you, still you want me
 
 
[Chorus]
D                     G
I'll always let you down
                        Bm
And shattered on the ground
                     A
But still I find you there
        D
Next to me
    D                   G
And all the stupid things I do
                        Bm
I'm far from good, it's true
                 A
Still I find you

So thank you for taking a chance on me

I know it isn't easy
                       D
But I hope to be worth it (oh)
   D                       G
So thank you for taking a chance on me
                 Bm    A
I know it isn't easy
                 D
But I hope to be worth it (oh)
 
 
[Chorus]
D                     G
I'll always let you down
                        Bm
