Bm
There must be something
In the way I feel
       A        G          Bm A G
That she don't want me to feel
     Bm
The stare she bares cut me
A        G
I don't care
                       Bm  A G
You see so what if I bleed

B
I could never change
       D
Just what I feel
    A
My face will never show
  G
What is not real

A mountain never seems to have
The need to speak
A look that shares so many seek
The sweetest feeling
I got from you
The things I said to you were true

I could never change
Just what I feel
My face will never show
What is not real

Chorus:
   Em                  G
I could have lied I'm such a fool
   D                       C
My eyes could never never never
Keep their cool
 Em               G
Showed her and I told her now
       D               C
She struck me but I'm fucked up now

But now she's gone yes she's gone away
A soulful song
That would not stay
You see she hides 'cause she is scared
But I don't care
I won't be spared

Chorus - x2
