Intro:
E G#m (4x) E
Verses 1:
G#m
What do I do to ignore them behind me?
F#
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
C#m
Do I hide my pride behind these bad dreams
E
And give into sad thoughts that are maddening?
G#m
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
F#
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
C#m
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?
E F#
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
G#m
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
F#
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
C#m
I put on my daily facade but then.
E F#
I just end up Getting hurt again
Chorus:
G#m E
By myself (myself)
G#m
I ask why (but in my mind I find)
E G#m
I can't rely on myself(myself)
E G#m
I ask why (but in my mind I find)
E G#m
I can't rely on myself
E
I can't hold on
C#m
(to what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
G#m E C#m
It's all too much to take in
G#m E
I can't hold on
C#m
(to anything watching everything spin)
G#m E C#m
With thoughts of failure sinking in
Verses 2:
G#m
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
F#
And to go blindly seems senseless
C#m
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
(then they'll)
E
Take from me till everything is gone
G#m
If I let them go I'll be outdone (but if I)
F#
Try to catch them I'll be outrun
C#m
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
E F#
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(Chorus)
Bridge:
G#m
How do you think
F#
I've lost so much
C#m
I'm so afraid
E
And I'm out of touch
G#m
How do you expect
F#
I will know what to do
C#m
When all I know
E
Is what you tell me to
G#m
Don't you (know)
E G#m
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
E G#m
No matter what it do, how hard I (try)
E G#m
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
E G#m
I'm stuck on the outside
G#m
Don't you (know)
E G#m
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
E G#m
No matter what it do, how hard I (try)
E G#m
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
E G#m
I'm stuck on the outside
(Chorus)
