C Em Am F

I use no exaggeration

I’m plainly hanging by a thread

And I’m running low on patience

But don’t go blame it on yourself

I wish that I was in my right mind

But I’ve left myself unnecessary chores

I make it bad when it’s just fine

F Fm

I was whole and sure and now I’m clearly torn, ‘cause there’s

C Em Am F

Nothin' left for me to do

C Em Am F

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Am F

Embracing inescapable truth

C Em F

And that's facing up to you

C Em Am F

And truth is so cruel

Continual irresolution

Keeps me shackled to the ground

And I’ve been in dire need of revolution

For far too many days to count

I thought I was safe in the hiding place

But it sure is exhausting, livin' in chains

It’s paradoxical in every way

Nothin' makes sense

I can’t tell love from hate...and there's

C Em Am F

Nothin' left for me to do

C Em Am F

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Am F

Embracing inescapable truth

C Em F

And that's facing up to you

And truth is so cruel

Am F

I’m beggin' myself to make something out of it

Dm Am F

I give up still unable to comprehend

My own true will

C Em Am F

Nothin' left for me to do

C Em Am F

Right and left both bring me to

The center of my deepest fear

Where the truth is oh so clear

Am F

Embracing inescapable truth

C Em F

And that's facing up to you

C Em F Am G F
