Intro: F - Am - Dm - Am


F                 AmI can't help but close my eyes for life

Dm                         AmAnd I will stop with my pretending
F                  Am                           DmThat I'm fine, I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight

F                    AmYou will bleed for what your hands have done
Dm                      AmYou can't outrun your ending
F                  AmAnd I'll get well long before you let yourself
Dm                 AmI may forgive you, but you never will
