[Verse]
GI don't have a leg to stand Don
SBmpinning like a whirlwind nothing to land F#mon
GCame so far never thought it'd be done nDow
BmStuck in a holding pattern waiting to cF#mome down
Did sGomebody else define me?
Can DI put the past behind me?
  BmDo I even have a decision
Feeling F#mlike I'm living in a story already written
Am I Gpart of a vision made by somebody else?
Pointing fiDngers at villains but I'm the villain myself
Or am I Bmout of conviction with no wind in the sail?
Too fF#mocused on the end and simply ready to faGil
[Chorus]
G'Cause I'm tDired of the fear that I Gcan't control thBmis
I'm tired of feeling like every Gnext step's hopeless
I'm tDired of being scared what I build might break aBmpart
I don't wGant to know the end, all I wF#mant is a place to Gstart
Oh, Doh, oh Bmoo
I don't wF#mant to know the end, all I wGant is a place to sDtart
Oh, BmohF#m
