[Intro]
G  D  Dm

GSo while I'm turning in my sheets 
And once again I cannot Emsleep 
Walk out the door and up the street 
Look at the stars beneath my Cfeet 
Remember rights that I did wrong 
So here I Ggo 
Hello, hello 
There is no place I cannot Emgo 
My mind is muddy but 
My heart is heavy does it Cshow 
I lose the track that loses me 
So here I Ggo 
uhuuuu Emuhuuuu Cuhuuuu 
GAnd so I sent some men to fight 
And one came back at dead of Emnight 
Said he'd seen my enemy 
Said he looked just like Cme 
So I set out to cut myself 
And here I Ggo 
uhuuuu Emuhuuuu Cuhuuuu G  D  
[Chorus]
CI'm not calling for a Gsecond chance 
I'm Dscreaming at the top of my Emvoice Em7  
CGive me reason, but Gdon't give me choice 
Cause I'll Amjust make the Csame mistake Gagain 
uhuuuu

And maybe someday we will meet 
And maybe talk and not just Emspeak 
Dont buy the promises cause 
There are no promises I Ckeep 
And my reflection troubles me 
So here I Ggo 
uhuuuu Emuhuuuu Cuhuuuu G  D  
[Chorus]

I'm Dscreaming at the top of my Emvoice 
CGive me reason, but Gdon't give me choice 
Cause I'll Amjust make the Csame mistake

Capo 3

[Intro]

G D Dm

[Verse]

So while I'm turning in my sheets

And once again I cannot sleep

Walk out the door and up the street

Look at the stars beneath my feet

Remember rights that I did wrong

So here I go

Hello, hello

There is no place I cannot go

My mind is muddy but

My heart is heavy does it show

I lose the track that loses me

So here I go

Em C

uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

And so I sent some men to fight

And one came back at dead of night

Said he'd seen my enemy

Said he looked just like me

So I set out to cut myself

And here I go

Em C G D

uhuuuu uhuuuu uhuuuu

[Chorus]

Give me reason, but don't give me choice

Am C G

Cause I'll just make the same mistake again
