[Verse 1]

G                          C     Cmaj7
I was scared but I couldn't admit it
G                    C    Cmaj7
Hatred planted out of fear
G                                C     Cmaj7
Fight or flight, no choice but to hit it
Em      G                   C
The road, it calls on me my dear

G                  C    Cmaj7
I was lost as lost can be
G                       C    Cmaj7
Being praised for being found
G                          C   Cmaj7
All that praise got lost on me
Em       G                C
As a mood swing was headed down


Em         G
Apart from me
C           D         Em                  G
I would not dare take someone in love with me
C             D
Where I'm going
Em             G
The part you'll see
C         D                 Em
How true it is and how back then
           G       C              D         G
It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it

[Verse 2]

G                      C   Cmaj7
Your touch was nothing more
G                          C    Cmaj7
Than a child's goodbye and hello
G                   C      Cmaj7
It always left me feeling
Em         G             C
Worse when it was time to go


Em         G
Apart from me
C           D         Em                  G
I would not dare take someone in love with me
C             D
Where I'm going
Em             G
The part you'll see
C         D                 Em
How true it is and how back then
          G       C              D         G
It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it

[Verse 3]

G                              C   Cmaj7
And most of us out there got fooled
G                                  C    Cmaj7
Cause the gold it glittered in the night
G                              C     Cmaj7
We chased it fast like drunk buffoons
Em         G                 C
The banker lived the artist died

G                                  C    Cmaj7
And all our clothes were washed in gray
G                          C   Cmaj7
All our buildings and our cars
G                           C   Cmaj7
As the fluorescent light of day
Em            G                C
Bleached the sky and took the stars


Em         G
Apart from me
C           D         Em                  G
I would not dare take someone in love with me
C             D
Where I'm going
Em             G
The part you'll see
C         D                 Em
How true it is and how back then
          G       C              D         G
It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it
