Seether - The Gift

rhythm
step down to D#
Am G F
hold me now i need to feel relief
Am G F
like i never wanted anything
Am G F
i suppose i’ll let this go and find a reason i’ll hold on to
Am G F
i’m so ashamed of defeat
G Am F
and i’m out of reason to believe in me
G Am F
i’m out of trying to get by

C G F
i’m so afraid of the gift you give me
Am G F
i don’t belong here and i’m not well
C G F
i’m so ashamed of the lie i’m living
Am G F
i’m right on the wrong side of it all

i can’t face myself when i wake up
and look inside a mirror
i’m so ashamed of that thing
i suppose i’ll let it go
’till i have something more to say for me
i’m so afraid of defeat
and i’m out of reason to believe in me
i’m out of trying to defy
i’m so afraid of the gift you give me
i don’t belong here and i’m not well
i’m so ashamed of the lie i’m living
i’m right on the wrong side of it all
Am G F
hold me now i need to feel complete
Am G F
like i matter to the one i need

i’m so afraid of the gift you give me
i don’t belong here and i’m not well
i’m so ashamed of the lie i’m living
i’m right on the wrong side of it all
