Em7                 D
   I try to breathe
Em7                    D
   These memories overtaking me
Em7                    D
   I try to face them but
      Em7                      D
The thought is too much to conceive
Em7                 D        Em7
   I only know that I can change
                       D         Em7
Everything else just stays the same
                  D       Em7
So now I step out of the darkness
                D
that my life became 'cause
G5
   I just needed someone to talk to
Fmaj7/C            C             G5
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me
       Fmaj7/C
To express how I felt
C                   G5
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
Fmaj7/C          C              G5
I could let some of this anger fade
                                 Fmaj7/C
But it seems the surface I am scratching
        C          Em7   D
Is the bed I have made
Em7  D
Em7                    D
   So where were you?
Em7                      D
   When all this I was going through
Em7                    D
   You never took the time
   Em7                         D
To ask me just what you could do
Em7                 D        Em7
   I only know that I can change
                       D         Em7
Everything else just stays the same
