C F F

- Intro:

C C F D F

Am C F

These never ending, condescending

C G

circumstances I left pending...

Don't act like you're helping,

just stop pretending

to lose all control

C G

Unable to steer,

you told me that night

was your biggest fear

and I said.

F G

They'll never climb higher

but they can sure as hell try.

F Am

As long as we keep on

G F

they'll keep wondering why.

Don't let yourself go,

D F

don't let yourself go.

The thought of it

D F

makes me sick.

At the end of the day

D F

we've been casted away

C D F

but I know we can handle this.
