Verse
Bm A
No, don't you say you love me
E
When you don't love me
F# A Bm
You only wanted me to be there when you fall
A
Now everything is changing
E
But you're not changing
F# A Bm
Then say you'll blame me if i change at all
But i'm the same
A
I'm the same
E
It's just circumstances
F# A Bm
They always spin around as far as i recall
A E
And then if we're not taking all our chances
F# A Bm (Intro riff)
One day regret will come and surely kill us all
(Intro riff x4 with Chorus)
A E Bm
And when i try to work it out
A E Bm
Just what this whole damn thing's about
A E Bm
You say we're running to be free
A
But it isn't me
E
It isn't me
It isn't
Bm (pre-verse for 4-count again)
Me
Bm A
We all have hearts for someone
E
We all have no one
F# A Bm
We all have everything conceivable between
A
Bold ideas of sorrow
E
Pain and redemption
F# A Bm
Where is the love i need to keep me off my knees?
Where is escape?
A
Where is escape?
E F# A Bm
Where is the final battle fought upon for my soul to see?
A
Where all the ways to break me
E
They give up on me
F# A Bm
And all the ways to live they come to rescue me
(Repeat Chorus from above, but end on G into bridge rather than going back to Bm)
And when i try to work it out
Just what this whole damn thing's about
You say we're running to be free
But it isn't me
It isn't me
It isn't
Me
G F#
And after all this time i thought
Bm A E
'well i can't go on just keeping saying nothing'
G F#
I'll scream until these lungs are raw
Bm A E
If it means that i at least stood up for something
G F#
You won't kill me with those words you say
Bm A E
And I will never change in my direction
G F#
Because maybe it's just all a game
Bm A E
And I will never fall at your suggestion
G
Until it all
F#
Until it all
Bm (Intro riff into Chorus)
Falls away
And when i try to work it out
Just what this whole damn thing's about
You say we're running to be free
But it isn't me \
It isn't me \
It isn't / Repeat last line x4
Me /
