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                           Dm
That I'm fine, I'm fine if I can fool myself tonight
                 C         Am      Dm
And my lie will drown out all of yours



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


F - Am


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


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


C - F


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

This isn't my identity
