There was a time and

    Bb    F
I'd leave my own hometown
but those days finally

are dead and gone
                  Bb
It was never my intention
F   Bb
to stay there Oh no

Verse 2:
            F
There was a conscious 
                   Bb
effort played by me
   F
to disown anything I 
                Dm
see There was a girl 
I knew way back when 
    Bb       F
who says she doesn't 
know me anymore


Refrain 1:
              Dm
These are the lies
    C                Bb
the things you never mention

These are my past mistakes 
           Bb

             F
These are my thoughts 
written down on paper

It's my only savior

from not saying 
C              Bb C
what I want to say
              F
These are the thoughts 
that are on my mind 
             Bb
Moments that haven't 
yet been defined 
            Dm
And I don't know if you 
      C          Bb
could ever understand
              C
These are the things I 
can't say when were alone

Verse 3:
           F
There were countless 
                      Bb
hours on the telephone 
   F
My ears were ringing 
from the dial tone
           Dm
There were flashing 
lights people staring 
Bb        F
There was nothing 
I could ever do 


(Repeat Refrain 1)


Refrain 2:
            Dm
This is the truth
    C                Bb
The only time you'll hear it

I write it down because it 
C                Bb    C
seems so hard to say it 


(Repeat chorus)
