(play Main Riff over 2 lines and repeat)
I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you
I cannot decide what this doubt's made of
Though I thought over it through and through


    Gmaj      C9     Gmaj 
In a book in a box high upon a shelf
               C9  D4  Gmaj
In a locked and guarded vault
    Gmaj      C9     Gmaj 
Are the things I keep only for myself
             C9    D4   Gmaj
It's your fate but it's not your fault



      C9     Gmaj   C9   Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
          C9   Gmaj  C9   Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
     C9  Gmaj    C9  Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C9   Fmaj   D D4 D
Am I ever really there?


(Main Riff)


    Gmaj      C9     Gmaj 
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
               C9  D4  Gmaj
but I can't just be right here
    Gmaj      C9     Gmaj 
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
             C9    D4   Gmaj
or a fool consumed by fear


      C9     Gmaj   C9   Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
          C9   Gmaj  C9   Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
     C9  Gmaj    C9  Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C9   Fmaj   D D4 D
Am I ever really there?

I will give you all I could ever give
               C9  D4  Gmaj
Though it's less than you will need
    Gmaj      C9     Gmaj 
Could you just forget, if you can't forgive
     C9   Fmaj   D D4 D
All the things I cannot concede


      C9     Gmaj   C9   Gmaj
And for every useless reason I know
          C9   Gmaj  C9   Gmaj
There's a reason not to care
     C9  Gmaj    C9  Gmaj
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C9   Fmaj   D D4 D
Am I ever really there?
