(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


    G5      C5     G5 
In a book in a box high upon a shelf
               C5  D5  G5
In a locked and guarded vault
    G5      C5     G5 
Are the things I keep only for myself
             C5    D5   G5
It's your fate but it's not your fault



      C5     G5   C5   G5
And for every useless reason I know
          C5   G5  C5   G5
There's a reason not to care
     C5  G5    C5  G5
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C5   F5   D5 D5 D5
Am I ever really there?


(Main Riff)


    G5      C5     G5 
There is nowhere else I would rather be,
               C5  D5  G5
but I can't just be right here
    G5      C5     G5 
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
             C5    D5   G5
or a fool consumed by fear


      C5     G5   C5   G5
And for every useless reason I know
          C5   G5  C5   G5
There's a reason not to care
     C5  G5    C5  G5
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C5   F5   D5 D5 D5
Am I ever really there?

I will give you all I could ever give
               C5  D5  G5
Though it's less than you will need
    G5      C5     G5 
Could you just forget, if you can't forgive
     C5   F5   D5 D5 D5
All the things I cannot concede


      C5     G5   C5   G5
And for every useless reason I know
          C5   G5  C5   G5
There's a reason not to care
     C5  G5    C5  G5
If I hide myself wherever I go
     C5   F5   D5 D5 D5
Am I ever really there?
