CHORDS

                  Em
I'm gonna start again
     Am              B7
This world I painted black
                Em
Just needs some colour
Am                B7            C
I'm gonna live my life like the other
B7                   Em
Person I should have been

I ain't tapping out, no no no no
        Am               B7
To this dark and twisted dream
               Em
That's kept me living
  Am
I pray to my soul
   B7             C
To keep it's fire burning
            A7/C#
And when it does
B7                 Em
I'm gonna let it shine

              Am                Em
I'll make the best of this life I've got left
B7              Em   
Got no time for no regrets
      Am                G
Gonna show you just what I can be
    B7                   Em
The person I should have been

And it might take time, take time
         Am             B7              Em
Coz this life has taken it right out of me
Am                B7             G
I wanna change my perspective of reality
A         G      C
Be a much better version of me
    B7                   Em
The person I should have been
           Am                Em
I make the best of this life I've got left
B7               Em
Put my sincerity to the test
     Am           G
Wake up my senses finally
    B7              Em
The water washes me clean

    Am                       Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
  B7
If I don't get a grip
         Em
Then the world has won
Am                       G
Making me think that I'll never be
   B7                    Em
The person I should have been
           Am
Who am I now?
  B7                Em
A lonely man that's fallen down
           Am
No I can't change
    B7                 Em
The past that time has all burned out
      C       C#?            A7
But I know somewhere inside of me
       Am     B7            Em
Is the person I could have been
         Am                Em
Make the best of this life I've got left
B7              Em 
Got no time for no regrets
      Am                 G
Gonna show you just what I can be
    B7                   Em
The person I should have been

    Am                       Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
  B7
If I don't get a grip
         Em
Then the world has won
Am                       G
Making me think that I'll never be
   B7                    Em
The person I should have been
          Am     Em    B7                  Em 
I said the person,   person I should have been
    Am     Em    B7                  Em 
The person,      person I should have been
    Am     Em    B7              Em 
The person         I should have been
          Am     Em    B7                  Em   
I said the person,     person I should have been
