Am C
you’re simply saying everything if you will
G Am C
take a pen and write my name on a friend
G
who never cared to let me in
Am C
and take a vast revine that for
G
three years swimmin’ straight upstream
Am C
and the wind . . . the wind won’t drag me down the end

Am C
you live inside my wall and i
G Am C
i reach back , hit you harder than god falls
G
christ , amen , amen , amen
Am C G

Am C
i’m so scared to make another mistake in the end

G D Am
but i just wanna be happy again oh!
C
until it all falls down

and where does that leave me?
G D

C D
and with a broken heart , and a straight face
( D ) ring

G
i go through and then it’s taken away
Am C G

G
i can’t sleep without the thought of me being so
