B                     E
On a mission started by my own admission
G        D              B
I will leave you all behind
By direction I'll create my own protection
The real me you'll never find
Aspirations turn to fear and desperation
Nothing's ever good enough for you
Burn in sorrow cause I see there's no tomorrow
You'll only see what I want you to

Chorus:
B                  D A
Never gonna find me
B                  D A
Never gonna find me
       B                                D
Well, Way down deep inside there is a real me
       E                            G         A
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll see
B                  D A
Never gonna find me
B                  D A
Never gonna find me
       B                                 D
Well, Way down deep inside they haven't found me yet
    E                              G          A     B
I'm always gonna hide and this is who you'll get, Woooh

On a mission to establish my attrition
You may think that you have won
Your rejection has brought on my introspection
I'll escape my hole and run
Accusations may destroy my motivation
I can feel it when you're pushing me
Burn in sorrow cause I see there's no tomorrow
Only I know which me you'll see

Chorus

B             E
Break away! Run!
G            B
Down inside! I've got to!
B             E
Push it way! Down!
G                     B
I did not choose this! God damn it
B                  E
I don't really know what I want to say
   G                            B
I can't afford the throw Can't make it go away
B                    E
Try to make it through Fuck your decision
G                            B
I can't feel myself But I'm burning up now!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never going to find me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never going to find me)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
(Never going to find me)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
