B                     D
Is it shame?  Is it greed?
                        B
Is it something that I need?
                      D
To make me feel so strong to the other ones?
B                    D
Is it real?  Is it true?
                        B
All the trouble I go through
              D
Is it just a way
  D
(Trying so hard, hoping that it can happen)
  D
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)
     D
To show
  D
(Trying so hard, hoping that it can happen)
  D
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)

Chorus:
        G                          E
That I don't have the strength to show
         G                   E  G D
But the mirror will always know-ow
      D
I've got to let go

Is it them?
Is it me?
I'm just too occupied to see
Afraid to look within to the real one
Can it be that I am scared
To share the parts I've never shared?
Or is it just a way, to show
(Trying so hard, but still I get nothing)

Chorus

 D        G        F                 G
You won't - get inside my head cause I won't
let you go
D      G            F             G     F   G D#
To see - that I'm crying out for you to - know
        F         G D#
What I want to say
      F                G D#
I've got to let you know
        F        G D#
That I want to say
 F
(I just want to tell you)

Chorus
