[Verse]
Bm                     A
No, don't you say you love me
               E
When you don't love me
         F#           A                 Bm
You only wanted me to be there when you fall
                  A
Now everything is changing
               E
But you're not changing
                F#       A              Bm
Then say you'll blame me if i change at all

But i'm the same
       A
I'm the same
                E
It's just circumstances
            F#             A          Bm
They always spin around as far as i recall
                      A              E
And then if we're not taking all our chances
          F#                 A              Bm (Intro riff)
One day regret will come and surely kill us all


(Intro riff x4 with chorus)
           A      E       Bm
And when i try to work it out
               A          E         Bm
Just what this whole damn thing's about
              A       E     Bm
You say we're running to be free
             A
But it isn't me
         E
It isn't me

It isn't
Bm (pre-verse for 4-count again)
Me

Bm                     A
We all have hearts for someone
            E
We all have no one
            F#             A           Bm
We all have everything conceivable between
              A
Bold ideas of sorrow
            E
Pain and redemption
             F#             A              Bm
Where is the love i need to keep me off my knees?

Where is escape?
      A
Where is escape?
             E               F#           A             Bm
Where is the final    battle fought upon for my soul to see?
                      A
Where all the ways to break me
             E
They give up on me
            F#                A              Bm
And all the ways to live they come to rescue me

(Repeat Chorus from above, but end on G into bridge rather than going back to Bm)

And when i try to work it out
Just what this whole damn thing's about
You say we're running to be free
But it isn't me
It isn't me
It isn't
Me
G                  F#
And after all this time i thought
        Bm               A              E
'well i can't go on just keeping saying nothing'
G                       F#
I'll scream until these lungs are raw
      Bm              A                  E
If it means that i at least stood up for something
G                            F#
You won't kill me with those words you say
    Bm           A               E
And I will never change in my direction
G                       F#
Because maybe it's just all a game
    Bm            A              E
And I will never fall at your suggestion
         G
Until it all
         F#
Until it all
      Bm (Intro riff into chorus)
Falls away

And when i try to work it out
Just what this whole damn thing's about
You say we're running to be free
But it isn't me \
It isn't me      \
It isn't         /  Repeat last line x4
Me              /
