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