_ _ _ How do [E] you know where you're [F#m] going when you [D] don't know where you've [E] been?
You hide the shame that you're not [F#m] showing and you won't let anyone _ in.
A crowded street can be a [F#m] quiet place when [D] you're walking [E] alone.
_ Now you think you're the [F#m] only _ [D] one who _ [F#m] doesn't have to try,
[F#] or [A] have _ to fail.
_ _ [F#m] If you're afraid to fight, _ then [A] I guess you never [E] _
will.
You [D] hide _ _ behind your [E] walls,
or [F#] maybe you never [A] will.
_ Forgetting that feels a little [E] more _ than just knowing better.
[A] _ Your _ mistakes do not [E] define you now,
[F#] until you [A] realize _ you've got to live this life, don't [E] give in.
Like it's the only one you've [A] got,
_ _ [E] memories have left you [F#] broken,
[F#m] and the [D] scars have never [A] healed.
The emptiness [E]
in you is [F#m] growing,
with so little [E] left to feel.
You're scared [E] to look back on the [F#m] days before,
and [A] too tired to move on.
And [E] now you think that you're the [F#m] only _ _ [D] one who doesn't have to try,
then you won't [A] _ _ have to fail.
_ [F#m] If you're afraid to [F#]
fight, [E] then [A] I guess you never [E]
will.
_ _ [D] You hide _ _ [A]
behind your [E] walls,
or [F#m] maybe [E] you never [A] will.
_ Forgetting that feels a little [E] more than just knowing _ [A] better.
_ Your mistakes do not [E] define you now,
[F#] until you [A] _ realize you've got to live this life, don't [E] give in.
Like it's the only one you've [F#m] got. _ _ _
_ [D] Oh, [A] _ _ _ oh I want to tell you,
[F#m] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] to get you to say that [F#m] I'll _ try. _
_ [D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [E] And what would you say if [D] this _ was the [A] last day of [E] your _ life?
_ [A] _
_ _ You hide _ behind _ your [E] walls,
or [F#] maybe you never [D] will.
_ Forgetting that feels a little [E] more _ than just knowing _ [A] better.
_ Your mistakes do not [E] define you now,
until [F#m]
you realize [A] _ you've got to live this life, don't [E] give in.
Like it's the only one you've [A] got.
You hide behind your [E] walls,
or [F#]
maybe you never [A] will.
_ Forgetting that feels a little [E] more than just knowing better.
_ _ _ Your mistakes do not [E] define you now,
[F#m] until you [E] realize [A] _ you've got to live this life, don't [E] give in.
Like it's the only one you've [A] got.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _

_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [F#m] _ _ _
