Intro: E Abm (4x) E Verses 1: Abm What do I do to ignore them behind me? Gb Do I follow my instincts blindly? Dbm Do I hide my pride behind these bad dreams E And give into sad thoughts that are maddening? Abm Do I sit here and try to stand it? Gb Or do I try to catch them red-handed? Dbm Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness? E Gb Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Abm Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin Gb I make the right moves but I'm lost within Dbm I put on my daily facade but then. E Gb I just end up Getting hurt again Chorus: Abm E By myself (myself) Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself(myself) E Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself E I can't hold on Dbm (to what I want when I'm stretched so thin) Abm E Dbm It's all too much to take in Abm E I can't hold on Dbm (to anything watching everything spin) Abm E Dbm With thoughts of failure sinking in Verses 2: Abm If I turn my back I'm defenseless Gb And to go blindly seems senseless Dbm If I hide my pride and let it all go on (then they'll) E Take from me till everything is gone Abm If I let them go I'll be outdone (but if I) Gb Try to catch them I'll be outrun Dbm If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer E Gb Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer Chorus: Abm E By myself (myself) Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself(myself) E Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself E I can't hold on Dbm (to what I want when I'm stretched so thin) Abm E Dbm It's all too much to take in Abm E I can't hold on Dbm (to anything watching everything spin) Abm E Dbm With thoughts of failure sinking in Bridge: Abm How do you think Gb I've lost so much Dbm I'm so afraid E And I'm out of touch Abm How do you expect Gb I will know what to do Dbm When all I know E Is what you tell me to Abm Don't you (know) E Abm I can't tell you how to make it (go) E Abm No matter what it do, how hard I (try) E Abm I can't seem to convince myself (why) E Abm I'm stuck on the outside Abm Don't you (know) E Abm I can't tell you how to make it (go) E Abm No matter what it do, how hard I (try) E Abm I can't seem to convince myself (why) E Abm I'm stuck on the outside Chorus: Abm E By myself (myself) Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself(myself) E Abm I ask why (but in my mind I find) E Abm I can't rely on myself E I can't hold on Dbm (to what I want when I'm stretched so thin) Abm E Dbm It's all too much to take in Abm E I can't hold on Dbm (to anything watching everything spin) Abm E Dbm With thoughts of failure sinking in This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.
