C     C     C     C    C – E     E
I’m so tired of being here

C    –    C          C    C   C    E-E-G   E-D-C
Suppressed by all my childish fears

G       G   G     G      F      E
And if you have to leave

G   G      F       E       D           E      F-E
I wish that you would just leave

E              G        G  –  G        G      G – E     G
‘Cause your presence still lingers here

G      G    G          G      B    ^C-^C
And it won’t leave me alone…

 

B             B              B            B      ^C  ^C
These wounds won’t seem to heal,

B        B      B    B     ^C   ^C
This pain is just too real

B               B        B       B         B       B     B-^C   ^D-^C
There’s just too much that time cannot erase.

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have  ~   all of me…

 

C        C      C   C-C-C- C   C     E     E       E-D-E-F      E
You used to captivate me by your resonating light

C         C         C        C    C     E     E      E    G-E-D-C
Now, I’m bound by the life you left behind

G          G     F     E-D      G       F      ED-EF        E
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams

G          G       F         E      D – E   G   G   G-G-B  ^C ^C
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me…

I’ve tried so hard to tell myself that you’re gone

A           ^C        ^C       ^E   ^D   ^D-^C
But though you’re still with me,

B       ^C   ^D-E  ^D ^C-^C
I’ve been alone all along…
