Intro : G x2
G Em
I've got regrets too blue to mention
Cadd9 G D
and I sold myself with the image of perfection
G
I've heard the truth will out
Em
but I've always had my doubts
Cadd9 D
Now I'm paying for deception
Em D G
So cast me like a stone against the rocks,
Em Cadd9
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs;
D G
my every flaw exposed,
Cadd9
and I'll weather them:
Em D G
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect
Cadd9
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest
D
I won't let go of what I've done
(Muted Strumming)
I'll let it shape what I become
Instrumental: Em Cadd9 G D
G Em
By my actions I'm defined,
Cadd9
so let the words I write remind me
G D
I am capable of hurt, and worse
G Em Cadd9
I am immovable; a blunted instrument for now
D
and I would change if I knew how
Em D G
So cast me like a stone against the rocks,
Em Cadd9
Reveal a cross-section of all my wrongs;
D G
my every flaw exposed,
Cadd9
and I'll weather them:
Em D G
I'll chase the storm of hate and lost respect
Cadd9
'til I'm a better man, I won't rest
D
I won't let go of what I've done
I'll let it shape what I become
Instrumental: Em Cadd9 G D
Em Cadd9
The anger burns but doesn't hurt
G
it doesn't scorch the badge I chose to wear
D
just empties me
Em Cadd9
Depression calls and I awake
G
To shut it out is choosing not to care
Em
To look upon the emptiness
D
- to see myself -
Em
is more than I can bear
Instrumental: Em x2 (getting quieter)
(Quiet, soft strumming)
