INTRO

F# A# E x2

FIRST VERSE

F#                              A#
Was I lying right through my teeth  <- hot the strings with palm
                 E                     
When I said I was trustworthy
F#                             A#
I said I'd never ever live this way
                 E
I'm turing into everything I hate
F#                             A#
Well I was reckless with your love     
                 E
I know, I never gave you enough
F#                             A#
Well I was reckless with your love <- Strum this last part 
                 E          
I know, I never gave you enough

CHORUS

D                 A              E
Well is it all slipping away from me  <- Strum the chorus
             F#           E
I can't be anything you want me to be
D     A         E
All ripped away from me
             F#           E
I can't be anything you want me to be
D                   A                    E
My heart is heavy and it keeps me to the ground
                        F#                E
My eyes are swollen cause I can't have you around
D       A         E
All ripped away from me 
                        
I can't be anything you want me to be

F# A# E x2

SECOND VERSE
F#                                  A#
I didn't have the stength to just come clean
       E
Feeling weak and hurt it seems
F#                                 A#
That I could never look you in the face
     E
Don't have the spine to go to your place
F#                             A#
Well I was reckless with your love
                 E
I know, I never gave you enough
F#                             A#
Well I was reckless with your love  <- strum 
                 E          
I know, I never gave you enough

REPEAT CHORUS 

BRIDGE

Esus            A
What can I do? What can I say? <- strum the entire bridge
                        F#
After all I pushed you away
                                    D
If you ever forgive me now it would be to soon
Esus            A
Nothing to do nothing to say
                              F#
Cause after all you pushed me away
                                 D
You know I wanna forgive you now it's just to soon
D                A               E
Well is it all slipping away from me
D                A             E
Well is it all ripped away from me

REPEAT CHORUS

F#            A#                  E
I can't be anything you want me to be x4

---------------
It's played in drop d tuning and
if you've heard the song enough 
you can catch the rhythm. They use 
a lot of palm hits to get the the 
desired sound. Have fun!
