                  Amaj7
I've ran away for miles
             G#7            Amaj7
It's gettin' hard for me to breathe
           G#7                                         Amaj7
'Cause the man that I've been runnin' from is inside of me
  G#7              Amaj7
I tell him keep it quiet
   G#7             Amaj7
So hardly does he speak
          G#7
'Cause he wants to keep his distance
                         Amaj7
But it's hard for him to leave

He knows I hear him cryin'
Cryin' out for help
I don't know how to save him
I can't even save myself
There's many people dyin'
I've always been afraid
Not that I'm scared of livin'
I'm scared of feeling pain

Chorus:
        Amaj7                                 G#7     Amaj7 G#7
I don't need another hand, I need a couple suggestions
       G#7                                  Amaj7
Always had a little trouble with self-reflections
                   Amaj7         G#7       Amaj7   G#7
Now, does my raw emotion make me less of a man? Bmm
       G#7                                 Amaj7
Always had a little trouble with self-reflections

I've been so used to winnin'
It was hard for me to lose
No, there's nothing wrong with me
There's just something wrong with you
So I've been making changes
Been workin' on my health
No more competition
Can't compete against myself, no, no, no

I'm not doin' this to be loved, no, no
I've been doin' this to be remembered
Let the people hear it if they want to
Help the one's around me get it on, too
If I die tomorrow and I'm gone
Let the blood run high
Let the carpets drown
I'll be forever now

Chorus - x2

Let this be a promise
That when it's said and done
Be a flower in the garden
Be one with the sun
Be one with the sun
Be one with the sun
Be one with the sun
Be one with the sun
