Chorus:
    D#         B
Its easier to run
                C#                  A#m
Replacing this pain with something numb
            D#         B
Its so much easier to go
                    C#             A#m  D#m
Than face all this pain here all alone

D#m
Something has been taken
      C#
From deep inside of me
   D#m
A secret i've kept locked away
   C#
No one can ever see
D#m
Wounds so deep they never show
      C#
They never go away
     D#m
Like moving pictures in my head
     C#
For years and years they've played

             B
If I could change, I would, take back the pain, I would
        C#
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
             B
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
            C#
If I could take all the shame to the grave, I would
If I could change, I would, take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

Chorus

Sometimes, I remember
The darkness of my past
Bringing back these memories
I wish I didn't have
Sometimes, I think of letting go
And never looking back
And never moving forward, so
There'd never be a past

If I could change, I would, take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
If I could take all the shame to the grave, I would
If I could change, I would, take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
I would take all my shame to the grave

      B           C#
Just washing it aside
           D#m             A#m
All of the helplessness inside
           B                C#
Pretending I don't feel misplaced
Is so much simpler than change

Chorus

It's easier to run
If I could change, I would,
take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made
It's easier to go
If I could change,
I would, take back the pain, I would
Retrace every wrong move that I made, I would
If I could stand up and take the blame, I would
I would take all my shame, (to the grave)
