[G] [C]
[G] I've been written off so many times before [C] I've forgotten what it feels like to succeed
anymore [G] Always on the sidelines waiting in the wings
[C] When the curtain finally calls I'm never on the screen
[G] And I got the scars to prove I've been [C] there I got the marks from when I tried
[Em] I've covered miles and miles to get [C] here Only for you to cast me aside
But [G] I still ride [Em] like the [C] wind And [G] I still start all [Em] over [C] again
I [G] gave it all up once and make it I [Bm] gave it all [C] up
[G] Psychophones, relations, all [Em] the chance I said [C] I'd try
[G] Never learned to win, don't know what it [C] means I lost myself when we were young and fighting just to [G] feel
Always on the edge, I just wanna make my [C] nerves I'd love to show the world what I gave up for the [G] games
And I got the scars to prove I've been [C] there I got the marks from when I tried
[Em] I've covered miles and miles to get [C] here Only for you to cast me aside

Oh, I got the scars to prove I've [Em] been there I got the [D] marks from when I tried

But [G] I still ride [Em] [C] like the wind And [G] I still start [Em] [C] all over again
