THE TRAGIC TRUTH

Em G C Dsus2

I'm drowning in the bottom of a bottle

Running from a man I swore I'd never be

Em G C Dsus2

No one ever has to face tomorrow

Em G C Dsus2

But I'm the one who has to face me

Em G C Dsus2

It's the demons I've created for myself

For you

Are we born to be broken, sinners, and thieves

Someone tell the heavens that I'm ready to escape

This is not what I wanted not what I need

Take it all tear it all

Rip it all away

Em G C Dsus2

I can't say the Devil made me do it

Em G C Dsus2

I chose to be the one I am, the way I am today

Em G C Dsus2

I wish there was but there's no way around it

Em G C Dsus2

In the end I made the choice and will not die ashamed

Em G C Dsus2

I'ts the voices screaming in my head

Em C Dsus2

The tragic truth

So it has to be hard as hell for you

You
