its easier to run 
                D                  Bm
replacing this pain with something numb 
            E         C
its so much easier to go 
                    D             Bm   Em
than face all this pain here all alone  

Repeat intro x2

Em
something has been taken 
      D
from deep inside of me 
Em
a secret i've kept locked away 
   D
no one can ever see 
Em
wounds so deep they never show 
     D
they never go away 
     Em
like moving pictures in my head 
    D
for years and years they've played 

           Em
if i could change i would 
take back the pain i would 
D
retrace every wrong move that i made i would  
if i could 
Em
stand up and take the blame i would 
D
if i could take all the shame to the grave i would 
           Em
if i could change i would 
take back the pain i would 
D
retrace every wrong move that i made i would  
if i could 
Em
stand up and take the blame i would 
D
if i could take all the shame to the grave

Em
sometimes i remember 
    D
the darkness of my past 
Em
bringing back these memories 
   D
i wish i didn't have 
Em
sometimes i think of letting go 
    D
and never looking back 
    Em
and never moving forward so 
      D
there would never be a past 

           Em
if i could change i would

     Em           D
just washing it aside 
           Em              D
all of the helplessness inside 
           Em               D
pretending i don't feel so misplaced 
           Em            D
is so much simpler than change
