G
I'll never be
A knight in armor
C
with a sword in hand,
or a kamikaze fighter;
G
Don't count on me
To storm the barricades
C
and take a stand,
or hold my ground;
Am
You'll never see
G
Any scars or wounds -
G
I don't walk on coals,
C
I won't walk on water:
ChorusGC
I am no prince,
GC
I am no saint,
GCAmDG
I am not anyones wildest dream,
GCG
But i can stand behind
CGDG
And be someone to fall back on.
G
Some comedy -
your bruised and beaten down
C
and i'm the one
who's looking for a favor?
G
Still, honestly,
You don't believe me
C
But the things I have
Are the things you need?
Am
You look at me
G
Like I don't make sense,
G
Like a waste of time,
C
Like it serves no purpose -

I'd rather be
G
The half of us,

The least of you,

The best of me.
Chorus 3
And I will be
GC
I'll be your prince
GC
I'll be your saint,
GCAmDG
I will go crashing through fences,
GCGC
In your name. I will, I swear -
GDG
I'll be someone to fall back on!
GC
I'll be the one, who waits,
GCAmD
And for as long as you'll let me,
GCGC
I will be the one you need.
GDG
I'll be someone to fall back on.
