Chords for Citizen Soldier - Pretend My Pain Away (Official Lyric Video)

_ [Em] _ Tell my [A] mother, tell my [F] father
_ I'm _ so [C] sorry I was never good [G] enough
_ _ _ _ In your eyes [A] I know I'll always be a [F] monster
_ _ Like who I [C] am made me _ impossible to [G] love
_ _ _ _ I just [Am] needed _ empathy
[C] You buried me [F] in so much shame
I [G] won't apologize for who I am
No more for one more [C] _ time
_ _ I can't pretend [F] my pain away
I can't help but fall [C] in love
In my head, in my [G] head
It's like I'm higher, _ [Am] okay
I can't pretend [F] my pain away
Judge me for what I [C] can't achieve
When I'm dead, when I'm [G] dead
You're gonna [C] wish you were
You [Am] make me feel like such a [F] burden
_ _ _ Like my [C] sickness is my fault
Can't take this [G] shame
_ _ _ I wish that [Am] you could see my pain
Just [A]
like a [F] cancer
_ _ _ I'd be your [C] hero, not _ like you [G] _ say _ _ _
[Am] I _ _ can't pretend my pain [F] away
I can't help but fall [C] in love
In my head, in my [G] head
It's like I'm higher, _ [Am] okay
I can't pretend my [F] pain away
Judge me for what I can't [C] achieve
When I'm dead, when I'm [G] dead
You're gonna wish [C] you were
[F] When I needed to be loved
[G] You are the story and the [C] touch
_ Refuse to _ _ [Am] understand
It [G] hurts me so [F] bad
But don't you forget us
You and [G] me don't make me hate _ [C] myself
Can't stand her begging more
[Am] It always [G] never _ works
[Fm] I can't pretend my pain [F] away
I can't help [C] but fall in love
In my head, in my [G] head
It's like I'm higher, [Am] okay
I can't pretend my pain [F] away
Judge me for what I [C] can't achieve
When I'm dead, when [G] I'm dead
I'm begging you to believe me _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
