I cannot decide what this doubt's made of

Though I thought over it through and through

Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj

In a book in a box high upon a shelf

Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj

In a locked and guarded vault

Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj

Are the things I keep only for myself

Cadd9 Dsus4 Gmaj

It's your fate but it's not your fault

Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj

And for every useless reason I know

Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj

There's a reason not to care

Cadd9 Gmaj Cadd9 Gmaj

If I hide myself wherever I go

And for every useless reason I know
