Em
I never wanted to
be Another one in
    Am
the same I may
never fit in But
                G
I will always remain
If only you could
            D
read my mind If only
just for one more
    Em
time
You say there's
no where to run
But I got nothing
   Am
to hide I can see
through the shit
Even through these
      G
black eyes A
confession of
a dangerous mind
D
A direction to
perfection is the
             Em  C G D
last thing I want


Em
So tell me when does
enough ever become
 C
enough If everything
is to lose and I will
           G
never give up I don't
care what you've got
       D
in mind The truth is
never hard to find
Em
I've been trying to
break the only link
         C
in the chain I've
been pleading the 5th
cause I got nothing
    G
to say A bad plan
with no warning signs
D
A god given region
with the passion

Chorus:
        Em
I don't want
Cause this I say
    C
to you I'm bleeding
           G
out of my heart
Tell me if it's
 D            B
true This is tearing
    Em
me apart So tell me
          C
one more time
Cause I can't
         G
let you go If this
             D
is where it lies
tell me Cause I
              Em C D C Em D/F# G Am
just need to know

     Am
The truth
   B
is all I
Em
needed to
C       Am
know Do you
       B
Still feel
    Em
The same
      C   D
way Still

Chorus:
Em
Cause this I say
    C
to you I'm bleeding
           G
out of my heart
Tell me if it's
 D            B
true This is tearing
    Em
me apart So tell me
          C
one more time
Cause I can't
         G
let you go If this
             D
is where it lies
tell me Cause I
              Em
just need to know
Cause this I say
    C
to you I'm bleeding
           G
out of my heart
Tell me if it's
 D            B
true This is tearing
    Em
me apart So tell me
          C
one more time
Cause I can't
         G
let you go If this
             D
is where it lies
tell me Cause I
              Em  D/F# G D Em
just need to know
