A C#m F#m
I’ve waited too long to have you
D
Hide in the back of me
A C#m F#m
I’ve cheated so long I wonder
D
How you keep track of me
Bm
You could never be strong
D
You can only be free
A Amaj7 Bm
And I never asked for the truth
C#m D
But you owe that to me
A C#m F#m
I’ve entered the game of pricks
D
With knives in the back of me
A C#m F#m
Can’t call you or on you no more
D
When they’re attacking me
Bm
I’ll climb up on the house
D
Weep to water the trees
A Amaj7 Bm
And when you come calling me down
C#m D
I’ll put on my disease
Bm
You could never be strong
D
You can only be free
A Amaj7 Bm
And I never asked for the truth
C#m D A
but you owe that to me
