Intro
D#m* C#*

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