Intro: C G Em D
Verse
C G
I was young, I'd seen it all
Em D
A cemetery in the middle of a super mall
C G
I went to school, I never learned
Em D
How it feels, how everything you love can burn
C G Em
And it never stops, it's all I got
D C
And I never know when to turn
G Em D
Like a merry-go-round, it all comes around again
C G
And I don't know why I'm here
Em D
I don't know where I'll go
C G Em D
If I don't give it time, how can this garden grow?
C G Bm Em
I don't know what I've lost and I don't know where to get it back
Am
But I'm holdin' on
D
Yes, I'm holdin' on for as long as I can
Instrumental: C G Em D
Verse
C G
I moved away, I left the band
Em D
I saw it coming, it was written on the back of my hand
C G Em
And every day, I could feel something missing
D
I went home to get a record deal
C G Em
And my mother said, "You're theirs to your dead,
D C
To them, it's just another meal. "
G Em D
Now I'm fat with regret, I'm placing my bet on me
C G
And I don't know why I'm here

I don't know where I'll go

Bridge
Am Bm
It's not over yet, no, it's not even close
C Bm
My heart is younger, stronger than 100 cowards in a row
Am Bm
And all my curiosity will keep me asking, "What went wrong?"
C
When it's all done, when it's gone,
Bm
No, it won't be long 'til I'm traveling back in time
To a place when I was mine
