Intro: D Bm G  x4

D (xx0232@1)    Bm (x24432@1)       G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)         Bm (x24432@1)        G (320003@1)Sometimes in my bed at night, I curse the dark and a pray for light
      D (xx0232@1) Bm (x24432@1)       G (320003@1)             D (xx0232@1)Bm (x24432@1)GAnd (320003@1)sometimes, the light's no, consolation

D (xx0232@1)     Bm (x24432@1)  G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)         Bm (x24432@1)         GBlinded (320003@1)by a memory, afraid of what it might do to me 
         D (xx0232@1)          Bm (x24432@1)        G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)Bm (x24432@1)GAnd (320003@1)the tears and the sweat only mock my desperation

C (x32010@1)                        D (xx0232@1)                                 CDon't (x32010@1)you know me I'm the boy next door?  the one you find so easy to ignore 
                     G(hold) (320003@1)
Is that what I was, fighting for?
