Intro

[Verse]
(the D# F# G# is played as a triplet at the end of the measure.)
A#
We have tried and failed
D#
We have stumbled and fallen
F#* A* B* A#
We have tried a new taste
D#
And we spit it back out
F#* A* B* A#
We have taken a left turn
D#
When we meant to turn right
F#* A* B* A#
We lost sight of our origins
D#
But our past never lost sight of us
F#* A* B* E* F*
Lost sight of us
[Chorus]
(play this really quick, one strum each.)
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F# E D# C# A G# F# B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Verse]
A#
I don't know what I expected
D#
But I expected to be great
F#* A* B* A#
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
D#
But he didn't like the tape
F#* A* B* A#
Take a look at what you're doing
D#
And tell me I'm too late
F#* A* B* A#
You say we're walking backwards
D#
Yeah, well, that dead horse sure can't run
F#* A* B* E* F*
It sure can't run
[Chorus]
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F# E D# C# A G# F# B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Bridge]
D#m* C#*
The truth
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*
[Outro]
A# C#*
I know I can
G# B*
I know I will
F#
I know
E D# C# A G# F# G#
I know what I have to do
F#
And now you'll have to listen
B E D# C# A G# F#
And I hope it won't hurt
G# F#
I've seen your poison
B E D# C# A G# F#
You've done your worst
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F#
I've seen your better and I can't believe it's true
G# F# B E D# C# A G# F# E D# C# A G# F# B* B*
You've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
