[Verse 1]

Em D C Em D C

I'm running out of grace just dealing with myself

Em D C Em D C

I've fallen right in line with this whole world that's gone to hell

Em D C Em D C

My patience all but gone, there's nothing left to take

Em D C Em D C

(open strum)

And nothing I can do that makes a difference anyways

[Chorus]

C Em G D C

You would think it would be easier the second time around

C Em G D C

I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down

[Verse 2]

Em D C Em D C

I'm running out of breath from fighting way too much

Em D C Em D C

And trying way too hard to just outrun who I once was

Em D C Em D C

I'm giving up the hope 'cause here is where I break

Em D C Em D C

So bring on all the fallout from the choices I have made

[Chorus]

C Em G D C

You would think it would be easier the second time around

C Em G D C

I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down

[Bridge]

D C Em

And all this time, keeping me in check

Just kick me when I'm down because it hurts a little less

D C Em

And all I know are all my mistakes

But once again I'll watch all that I love just slip away

[Chorus]

C Em G D C

You would think it would be easier the second time around

C Em G D C

I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down

C Em G D C

You would think by now I'd figure out what I was doing wrong

C Em G D C

And all the reasons that escape me now are reasons I'm alone
