Intro
G# x2
G# Fm
I've got regrets too blue to mention
Cadd9 G# D#
and I sold myself with the image of perfection
G#
I've heard the truth will out
Fm
but I've always had my doubts
Cadd9 D#
Now I'm paying for deception
Fm D# G#
So cast me like a stone against the rocks,
Fm Cadd9
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs;
D# G#
my every flaw exposed,
Cadd9
and I'll weather them:
Fm D# G#
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect
Cadd9
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest
D#
I won't let go of what I've done
(Muted Strumming)
I'll let it shape what I become
Instrumental: Fm Cadd9 G# D#
G# Fm
By my actions I'm defined,
Cadd9
so let the words I write remind me
G# D#
I am capable of hurt, and worse
G# Fm Cadd9
I am immovable; a blunted instrument for now
D#
and I would change if I knew how
Fm D# G#
So cast me like a stone against the rocks,
Fm Cadd9
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs;
D# G#
my every flaw exposed,
Cadd9
and I'll weather them:
Fm D# G#
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect
Cadd9
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest
D#
I won't let go of what I've done
I'll let it shape what I become
Instrumental: Fm Cadd9 G# D#
Fm Cadd9
The anger burns but doesn't hurt
G#
it doesn't scorch the badge I chose to wear
D#
just empties me
Fm Cadd9
Depression calls and I awake
G#
To shut it out is choosing not to care
Fm
To look upon the emptiness
D#
- to see myself -
Fm
is more than I can bear
Instrumental: Fm x2 (getting quieter)
