Intro: E  B  F#m  A


Verse 1:

E                   B
  Granted I've been a fool before
         F#m
But I've never felt
       A
So completely insane
E                  B
  I know I've been here before
      F#m
But I never saw this
            A
For what it really was and


Prechorus:

B                       A
  I hope that I can get my point across
B                         A
  I hope that I don't lie dormant in the shadows now
B                  A
  I know that I am running as fast as I can
B                 A
  But I know that that's not very fast at all


Chorus:

E                     B
  I am trying so hard  to be something
       C#m               A
That I just end up being   nothing at all
E                  B
  So watch me as I  stumble now
C#m                 A
Watch me smile as I hit the ground


Verse 2:

E                     B
  And every time that I knew the truth
        F#m
I would just pretend
       A
That I wasn't hiding
E                      B
  I'd tell myself that it's alright
       F#m
I know myself
  A
I think that's all that matters and


[Prechorus]

[Chorus]

Bridge:

C#m          A
  I always expect this
C#m        A
  I always see it coming
C#m                   A
  I love it when it's faltering
                    E    B
I love it when it's   failing
C#m           A
  I know that there is
C#m                     A
  Most likely something wrong with that
C#m                        A
  But it's a part of who I am
- At least I think that it might be,
E   B
 anyway... 

[Chorus 2x]

E   B   C#m       A         E      B
             as I   hit the ground
C#m                 A        E
Watch me smile as I  hit the ground
