Intro: D5 D#5 D5 Verse: A5 What do I do to ignore them behind me? D5 Do I follow my instincts blindly? D#5 Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams D5 And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? A5 Do I / sit here and try to stand it? D5 Or do I / try to catch them red – handed? D#5 Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, D5 Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? A5 Because I can’t hold on / when I’m stretched so thin D5 I make the right moves but I’m lost within D#5 I put on my daily facade but then D5 I just end up getting hurt again Chorus: A5 By myself [myself] F5 I ask why, but in my mind D5 I find I can’t rely on myself A5 I can’t hold on F5 To what I want when I’m stretched so thin D5 It’s all too much to take in A5 I can’t hold on F5 To anything watching everything spin D5 With thoughts of failure sinking in A5 If I turn my back I’m defenseless D5 And to go blindly seems senseless D#5 If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they’ll D5 Take from me ‘till everything is gone A5 If I let them go I’ll be outdone D5 But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun D#5 If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer D5 Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer [by myself] A5 How do you think / I’ve lost so much F5 I’m so afraid / I’m out of touch D5 How do you expect / I will know what to do A5 When all I know / Is what you tell me to F5 Don’t you know D5 I can’t tell you how to make it go A5 No matter what I do, how hard I try F5 I can’t seem to convince myself why D5 I’m stuck on the outside
