Intro: D#5 E5 D#5 Verse: A#5 What do I do to ignore them behind me? D#5 Do I follow my instincts blindly? E5 Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams D#5 And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? A#5 Do I / sit here and try to stand it? D#5 Or do I / try to catch them red – handed? E5 Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, D#5 Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? A#5 Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin D#5 I make the right moves but I’m lost within E5 I put on my daily facade but then D#5 I just end up getting hurt again Chorus: A#5 By myself [myself] F#5 I ask why, but in my mind D#5 I find I can’t rely on myself A#5 I can’t hold on F#5 To what I want when I’m stretched so thin D#5 It’s all too much to take in A#5 I can’t hold on F#5 To anything watching everything spin D#5 With thoughts of failure sinking in A#5 If I turn my back I’m defenseless D#5 And to go blindly seems senseless E5 If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they’ll D#5 Take from me ‘till everything is gone A#5 If I let them go I’ll be outdone D#5 But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun E5 If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer D#5 Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer [by myself] A#5 How do you think / I’ve lost so much F#5 I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch D#5 How do you expect / I will know what to do A#5 When all I know / Is what you tell me to F#5 Don’t you know D#5 I can’t tell you how to make it go A#5 No matter what I do, how hard I try F#5 I can’t seem to convince myself why D#5 I’m stuck on the outside
