[Db] [Ab]
Stranger than your [Eb] [Ab] sympathy, and this is my apology
For killing myself from the inside out And all my affairs have pushed you out
And I wished for things that [Eb] I don't need Oh, how [Ab] I want to end
What I [Eb] chase won't set me free, it's all I [Ab]
wanted
And I [Eb] get scared, but I'm [Fm] not crawling on my [Eb] knees
[Ab]
Oh, and yeah, everything's all wrong, yeah Everything's all wrong, yeah
Where the hell did I think I [Eb] was?
[Ab]
Stranger than your sympathy, take these things so I don't feel
For killing myself from the inside out And now my head's been filled with doubt
And it's hard [Eb] to lead the life [Db] you choose All I wanted
[Ab] And all [Eb] your luck's running out [Db] on you All I [Ab] wanted
And you [Eb] can't see when all [Fm] your dreams are coming [Eb] true
[Fm]
Oh, yeah, [Ab] it's easy to [Fm] forget, yeah
And [Eb] you're so [Db] gonna [Fm] regret, yeah [Db] Who the hell did I think [Ab] I was?
Stranger than your sympathy, and all these thoughts you stole from me
And I'm not sure where I belong, and nowhere's home when I'm alone
[Fm] And I [Eb] wasn't all the [Ab] things I tried to make [Eb] believe I [Fm] was
And I [Eb] wouldn't be the one [Ab] to kneel before the [Cm] dreams I wanted
And all the talk [Db] and all the lies [Cm] were all the empty [Eb] things [Ab]
disguised as me
Oh, yeah
Stranger than your sympathy, stranger than your sympathy
Oh, oh, [Eb] oh
[Ab] [N]
