E
I watched the proverbial sunrise

A
Coming up over the Pacific and

C#
You might think I'm losing my mind,

B
But I will shy away from the specifics...

A                          B            C#
'cause I don't want you to know where I am

A                         B
'cause then you'll see my heart

       C#
In the saddest state it's ever been.

A                   B
This is no place to try and live my life.


:::this next part gets a little bit jumpy. if you listen and follow the bass line it 
come to you:::


E           E (2 fr.)          B               Eb
 Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

Ab        A           C#                B
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

E           E (2 fr.)          B                 Eb
 Stop right there. Well I never should have said

              Ab          A
That it's the very moment that

  B
I wish that I could take back.

E                                B
I'm sorry for the person I became.

Eb                                       B
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

E                                                 B
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again

Eb
'cause who I am hates who I've been.

A       B
Who I am hates who I've been.


:::back to into chords:::


then just loop everything the same

long story short: intro - A B C# E
                  verse - E A C# B then A B C#
                  bridge - E/E (2 fr.) B Eb Ab A C# B
                  chorus - E B Eb B

the bridge aka (stop right there..) is only played the first time

if you listen for strumming and timing, and play it a couple times it will all be good dude
