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

I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect
