E5 G5 D5 A5 D5 E5 G5 B5 And I have been left for losers, left for heartache, left for money D5 E5 G5 D5 And I have been left alone, left behind and left for dead D5 E5 G5 B5 And you can take the pieces there and fight for recognition E5 E5 G5 D5 But I will take the memories and silence in my head E5 G5 D5 A5
