[Intro]
BbmI've spent my time trying Abto come to Gbterms
With the selfish Ebmfact that I don't Fmlove you back
BbmI'll use my life to find Abpeace and Gbhope
And the weathering Ebmfall is just a Fmbump in the road
[Solo]
Bbm Ab Gb Ebm Fm
[Verse 1]
GbI'll let the telephone ring
I'm Abtoo busy Bbmcleaning up the block
I'll cling onto Absobriety
GbI'll let my instincts leave
I'm Abtoo ready to Bbmbust open the lock and unleash my Abpity
GbI can't hold on to an excuse that holds so Abdear to you
I'll Bbmswallow my pride and know what it means to Ablose
GbFeeding the last bit of emotion
AbI have left into truth
Is this all I can do?
[Chorus]
BbmEvery winning hand can lose, if you Abfold in the plaGby-through
Who you used to Ebmbe is Fmnot who you are today
BbmYou can scratch out every angle
And find About that you are Gbable
To still make usEbme of Fmwhat you have to say
[Verse 2]
BbmYour opportunity for an exit presenting itAbself in the form of Gbforgiveness
Saying sorry Ebmover and over to the Fmone who pulled the trigger
BbmI gave you securityAb  
GbYou wanted EbmexcitementFm  
BbmWho you used to be is not who you are Abtoday
You said Gbyour scars took away from your EbmbeautyFm  
Those Bbmscars added to your character
Further Abproof of growtGbh
And that's beautiful to me
[Chorus]
BbmEvery winning hand can lose, if you Abfold in the plaGby-through
Who you used to Ebmbe is Fmnot who you are today
BbmYou can scratch out every angle
And find About that you are Gbable
To still make usEbme of Fmwhat you have to say
[Bridge]
BbmLove is not a threat, sometimes a cAbompliment
GbIt just depends where you Dbare and Abwho you're with
BbmDeath is not an exit, life's not Abrepetition
GbKeep your soul clean Ebmof your Fmpast oppressionBbm  
[Outro]
BbmI've spent my time trying to come to Gbterms
With the selfish fact that I don't Fmlove you back
BbmI'll use my life to find peace and Gbhope
