Only a Memory

Intro: F - Am - Dm - Am


F                 Am
I can't help but close my eyes for 
life
Dm                      Am
And dream a different ending
F                   Am
That when I wake, I won't be so 
exhausted
Dm                         Am
And I will stop with my pretending
F                  Am            
That I'm fine, I'm fine if I can 
               Dm
fool myself tonight
                 C         Am  
And my lie will drown out all of 
    Dm
yours



F                              C 
I will not bend until I break, 
                             Dm
how much can one bruised body take?
                           Bb
Just not enough to silence me, 
you're only a memory
F                                 
I'll scream these words 'til they 
      C                            
come true, then I will think no 
      Dm
more of you
                              Bb   
Look back on what I'm going 
                  F
through, this isn't my identity


F - Am


F                    Am
You will bleed for what your hands 
have done
Continues after the ad
Dm                      Am
You can't outrun your ending
F                  Am
And I'll get well long before you 
let yourself
Dm                 Am
I may forgive you, but you never 
will



F                              C 
I will not bend until I break, 
                             Dm
how much can one bruised body take?
                           Bb
Just not enough to silence me, 
you're only a memory
F                                 
I'll scream these words 'til they 
      C                            
come true, then I will think no 
      Dm
more of you
                              Bb
Look back on what I'm going through,
 this isn't my identity


                   Am              
And I told you, I told you, you had
      Bb
 no right
                     Am   C
How damaged you must be
Bb                     Am        
Watch you panic, it's tragic, 
                    Bb
you'll carry this for life
              Am
You have my sympathy


C - F


F                              C 
I will not bend until I break, 
                             Dm
how much can one bruised body take?
                           Bb 
Just not enough to silence me, 
                 F
you're only a memory
I'll scream these words as they come
 C                                 
 true, then I will think no more of
 Dm
 you
                              Bb   
Look back on what I'm going 
                    F
through, this isn't my identity

This isn't my identity
