            Gm  F  A#     Gm   F D#
Do you want me for me or make believe?
           Gm         F   A#      Gm  F    D#
Rip me at the seams, fill me full of your dreams

  F                     D#
Such a violent game we play
        F                  D#
Like a feather in a tidal wave

Chorus:
    Gm          F   A#
But I can't be somebody else for you
 Gm             F      D#
Grip my heartstrings, make me adore you
Gm              F   A#
Something 'bout it brings me back towards you
Gm          F  D#
Turns me into someone else

For you, I would twist and bend
And say amen
Make me feel so tall inside
Then change my mind

Such a violent game we play
Like fire dancing in the rain

Chorus:
'Cause I can't be somebody else for you
Grip my heartstrings, make me adore you
Something 'bout it brings me back towards you
Turns me into someone else

For you, I would bleed
If that's what you need me to do
I know I should leave
But I can't be somebody else

A#              D
Every ounce of me
          D#
Chiseled away, chiseled away
            A#         D
Better than being nobody
                  D#
Oh, look what you made
D#
Oh, look what you made

Chorus:
No, I can't be somebody else for you
No, I can't be somebody else
Something 'bout it brings me back towards you
Turns me into someone else

For you, I would bleed
If that's what you need me to do
I know I should leave
But I can't be somebody else
