Am      Dm          Am
I know you've been hurt

Dm      F     Dm      
Many a time before

C    Em    C      Em        
Your heart bleeds rivers

Dm     Em       Am  
Deep enough to drown



        Am   Dm     Am
Thought I to be the one

   Dm      F         Dm 
To swim against the current

C    Em    C      Em   
Swim against the force

     Dm        Em       Am  
The force that pulls one down


[Chorus]

    Am           Dm      Am     
But no matter how hard I try

     Am         Dm       C   Em
I can't seem to win this fight

   Am          Dm       Am
I seem to be further behind

     G          Em     Am 
Than I was when I met you



[Verse 2]

Am      Dm          Am
I know that you'll choose

Dm        F       Dm 
Where you want to be

C       Em       C   Em 
Choose the heart of gold

    Dm      Em      Am  
And not the one for free

C    Em    C      Em 
Choose the heart of the past

     Dm        Em       Am  
Belonging not to me




[Chorus] X2

    Am           Dm      Am     
But no matter how hard I try

     Am         Dm       C    Em 
I can't seem to win this fight

   Am          Dm       Am
I seem to be further behind

     G          Em     Am 
Than I was when I met you


[Outro] X6

Am  G  F  Em
Ohoh
