[Intro Riff] x1

[Verse 1]

Something has been taken

from deep inside of me

A secret I've kept locked away

no one can ever see

Wounds so deep they never show,

they never go away

Like moving pictures in my head,

for years and years they've played

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could stand up and take the blame I would

If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame to the grave

[Chorus]

E C

It's easier to run

D Bm

Replacing this pain with something numb

E C

It's so much easier to go

D Bm

Than face all this pain here all alone

[Verse 2]

Sometimes I remember

the darkness of my past

Bringing back these memories

I wish I didn't have

Sometimes I think of letting go

and never looking back

And never moving forward so

there'd never be a past

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could stand up and take the blame I would

If I could take all the shame to the grave I would

If I could change I would, take back the pain I would

Retrace every wrong move that I made I would

If I could stand up and take the blame I would

I would take all my shame to the grave

[Bridge]

C D

Just washing it aside

Em Bm

All of the helplessness inside

C D

Pretending I don't feel misplaced

Is so much simpler than change

[Chorus]

E C

It's easier to run

D Bm

Replacing this pain with something numb

E C

It's so much easier to go

D Bm

Than face all this pain here all alone

E C

It's easier to run

(If I could change I would, take back the pain I would)

(Retrace every wrong move that I made)

E C

It's easier to go

(If I could change I would, take back the pain I would)

(Retrace every wrong move that I made I would)

(If I could stand up and take the blame I would)

(I would take all my shame to the grave)
