Dm
Had enough, I've really had enough
D
Had enough of denial
D#
I'm not alright, but I'm not gonna lie
          D
I don't know that I ever was

All alone, I've waited, all alone
Held it in as I played by your rules
I've been biting my lip, but I'm losing my grip
I'm coming down, down, down

A#            Gm                  Dm
When all the hate burns off, I'm left here with the pain
A#          Gm     C    Dm
Behind our vain devices are we all the same?
D#       D#m
Ooh-ooh, ah-ah

Chorus:
A#              D
Change me into something I believe in
Gm             D#               D#m
Change me so I don't have to pretend

Take a breath and try to play along
But I'm a terrible liar
I feel the world like a brick on my chest
And the party's just begun
Throw the rope, I'm wading through the mud
From your mouth flow a thousand truths
But you know
There's only one

When all the hate burns off
I'm left here with the pain
Ooh, ah, ah, ah

Chorus:
Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don't have to pretend
Sweet words, they mean nothing, they're not true
'Cause the game is over

D                       Gm
I want it all or I want nothing at all
D#    D#m
Maybe I can

Chorus:
Change me into something I believe in
Change me so I don't have to pretend
Your sweet words, they mean nothing, save your breath
The game is over
