Tom Rosenthal - It Won't Be Me
Dm Em F G  Dm Em F G
[verse 1]
I was loDmoking in the mirror to a saEmint or a sinner,
oFne of us a runner and onGe of us a winner
drawing nDmames out of hats, I was tEmhis, I was that
I was fiFxed, I was broken, asGleep or awoken
YFou get the phone and DmI'll get the door
AmYou hit the road and IC'll hit the dance floor
FYou get the train and IDm'll get the truth
CYou hit the wall and AmI'll break thFrough
[chorus]
CDo do doo do...
My mGind is made of history and oFne of us is crying but it wont be Cme
Dm Em F G
[verse 2]
I was sDmailing in the boat of dEmuality, oFne side frosty, Gone side free
I was gDmliding into the wEmrong situation,
Fmoving on but lGeft at the station
FYou get the lights and IDm'll turn it off
AmYou get the bikes and I'Cll ride along
FYou change your mind and IDm'll do the time
CYou keep it in and I'Amll do the lonely mFime
[chorus]
CDo do doo do...
My mGind is made of history and oFne of us is crying but it won't be me
CDo do doo do...
My eGyes are made of destiny and oFne of us is crying but it won't be meC  
[bridge]
FMeet you in the mEmiddleAm, our roads are gonna cCross one sunny daFy
The answers to the Emriddle that Amno one knows we're not beaten, but it's hCard
and I dAmon't know the eEmnd.
FI want us to remeEmmber, Amonly the tCwo of us will ever knFow
We've only got the Emone faceAm, we've oCnly got the one face to show the wForld.
FYou get the phone and IDm'll get the door
AmYou hit the road and I'Cll hit the dance floor

My mGind is made of history and oFne of is crying but it won't be me
CDo do doo do
My eGyes are made of destiny and Fone of us is crying and it won't be meC
