[Intro]
N.C.
[Verse 1]
D#mShe can't hide, no matter how hard she tries
D#m/EHer secret disguise behind the lies
D#mAnd at night, she cries away her pride
D#m/EWith eyes shut tight, staring at her inside
D#mAll her friends know why she can't sleep at night
D#m/EAll her family asking if she's alright
D#mAll she wants to do is get rid of this hell
D#m/EWell, all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself
[Pre-Chorus]
D#mShe can only fool herself for so long
D#m/EShe can only fool herself for so long
D#mShe can only fool herself for so long
(I'm too weak to face me!) D#m/EShe can only fool herself
[Chorus 1]
D#mI never kD#m/Enow just why you D#mrun
So far aD#m/Eway, far away from D#mme
I never kD#m/Enow just why you D#mrun
So far aD#m/Eway, far away from D#mme
[Verse 2]
D#mWhen it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told
N.C.
Says he's got it all under control
D#mThinks he knows it's not a problem he's stuck with
N.C.
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
D#mAn addict and he can't hold the reigns
D#m/EThe pain is worse 'cause his friends have it the same
D#mTries to slow down the problem he's got
D#m/EBut can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D#mHe can only fool himself for so long
D#m/EHe can only fool himself for so long
D#mHe can only fool himself for so long
(I'm too weak to face me!) D#m/EHe can only fool himself
[Chorus 1]
D#mI never kD#m/Enow just why you D#mrun
So far aD#m/Eway, far away from D#mme
I never kD#m/Enow just why you D#mrun
So far aD#m/Eway, far away from D#mme
[Bridge]
D#mFly with me, under the wings I gave youD#m/E  
D#mTry to be closer to me and I'll save youD#m/E
