[Verse]
(the C# E F# is played as a triplet at the end of the measure.)
G#
We have tried and failed
C#
We have stumbled and fallen
F#* A* B* G#
We have tried a new taste
C#
And we spit it back out
F#* A* B* G#
We have taken a left turn
C#
When we meant to turn right
F#* A* B* G#
We lost sight of our origins
C#
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.)
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
F# E A D C# B G F# E D C# B G F# E B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Verse]
G#
I don't know what I expected
C#
But I expected to be great
F#* A* B* G#
I said "I'm trying my hardest"
C#
But he didn't like the tape
F#* A* B* G#
Take a look at what you're doing
C#
And tell me I'm too late
F#* A* B* G#
You say we're walking backwards
C#
Yeah, well, that dead horse sure can't run
F#* A* B* E* F*
It sure can't run
[Chorus]
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not emulation - cause that's not this hard
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not imitation - cause that won't take you far
F# E A D C# B G F# E
Not digression - cause I'm falling straight up
F# E A D C# B G F# E D C# B G F# E B*
It is progression - I'm not afraid to stand up
[Bridge]
D#m* C#*
The truth
D#m* C#*
D#m* C#*

[Outro]
G# C#*
I know I can
F# B*
I know I will
E
I know
D C# B G F# E F#
I know what I have to do
E
And now you'll have to listen
A D C# B G F# E
And I hope it won't hurt
F# E
I've seen your poison
A D C# B G F# E
You've done your worst
F# E A D C# B G F# E
I've seen your better and I can't believe it's true
F# E A D C# B G F# E D C# B G F# E B* B*
You've lost the truth that used to live inside of you
