Gm        C       F  A#
It's the same outside
Gm       C      F    A#
Driving to the riverside
Gm    C        F A#
I pretend to cry
Gm          C     F  A#
Even if I cried alone

I forgot the start
Use my hands to use my heart
Even if I died alone
Even if I died alone

Since the first of June
Lost my job and lost my room
I pretend to try
Even if I tried alone

I forgot the part
Lose my hands to use my heart
Even if I died alone
Even if I died alone
Even if I died alone
Even if I died alone
Even if I died
