Intro: Dm- - Bb- - Dm - F/A - Bb - A/C#-


Verse 1:
Dm
  Trying to create something
           Bb
that's not there
                   Dm
A spark I saw as a bomb is
F/A                   Bb A/C#
   just a means to an end
    Dm
And I was just so happy
                Bb
to be out of my shell again
                   Dm
don't think that I really
      F/A
cared for who or what
       Bb
So for now I'll just
        A/C#
have to keep it shut


Refrain:
   Dm
If you're not ready
Bb
you're not ready
Dm          F/A
Please stop acting
         A/C#
like you are


Chorus:
Dm            Bb
  How could I know
          Gm
that everything you say 
are lies about 
  A
devotion and desire?
Dm                Bb
  And I know the spark
            Gm
inside your eyes
was just the match I
        A
used to set myself on fire


Post Chorus: Dm(hold)


Verse 2:
Dm
  My mouth's shooting blanks
    Bb
Situation's unbearable
I've gotten vulnerable
    Dm                      F/A
Now anyone is free to waltz right in
   Bb
My temple's been invaded
            A/C#
and there's nobody guarding it
Dm              Bb
  All over this lonely life
    Dm
but what's so wrong 
               F/A
with being all alone?
 Bb
Alone is the only way 
     A/C#
I've ever known


(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Post Chorus)

Bridge:
Dm            A/C#
  Now pleading    this kills
  Bb
it  still bleeding
A/C#          Dm
    My darling  I'm taking 
A/C#            Bb
    my life back  to 
             A/C#-- (hold)
start healing


(Repeat Chorus)


Outro:
Dm Dm Dm                   Dm(hold)
