     F#                A#/D                D#m
You say you want the truth, but you can't take it
E              B
So I give you lies
D           F#
I give you lies

You say you want the best, but you destroy it
So I keep it inside
I keep it inside

            D#m
I tell you something
                     C#           Bmaj7
It's a double-edged sword you're giving
                              F#
And I can't see the truth in living
                              C#sus4
When we hide behind a wall of fear
C#            D#m
And you don't see it
                 C#        Bmaj7
It's a twisted dream you believe in
                         F#
And what's the use in pretending?
                                   C#sus4
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear

Chorus:
C#          F#
So there I said it
             C#
And I won't apologize to you anymore
            D#m
Cause I'm a grown-ass man
       C#
And I wanna live again
         B                 A#m            G#m
And I'm sick and tired of living in your shadows
           F#
So there I said it
             C#
And I won't apologize to you anymore
            D#m
Cause I'm a grown-ass man
      C#
And I don't understand
B               A#m           G#m
Why I should be living in the shadows,
so there I said it

You wanna hear my voice, my mind, my demons
But not too much
Or you'll give up

I'll tell ya something
It's a double-edged sword you're givin'
And I can't see the truth in livin'
When we hide behind a wall of fear
And you don't see it
It's a twisted dream you believe in
And what's the use in pretendin'?
Let's make the smoke and mirrors disappear

Chorus
