Intro: C#m - A - E - B [X2]

C#m         A                E       
I?ve never been the kind to hold back,
B            C#m   A         E             B
Though I?ve never felt the burden before,
C#m             A                   E      
And all these years I begged for vengeance,
     B    C#m        A       E   B
Was only left with wanting more,


    A  E
But I can?t be whole,
 B
'til I let all this anger go,
 A                 E                  B
The silent strain I?ve carried long enough.


    E                B
And I can?t be with you,
        C#m  F#m
I don?t even want to,
        A                     B
I just wish your ghosts were gone,
       E             B
Cause I?m ready to love,
            F#m    A    
I?ve been guarded long enough.


C#m - A - E - B [x2]


E                C#m   B
It?s taken a lot to forgive you,
E        F#m         E  B
Oh it?s taken me so long,
E              C#m    B
I tried in vain to forget you,
      F#m        E  B
Oh I tried everything,


    A   E
But I won?t be free, 
 B
'til I?ve made peace with never knowing,
 A                   E                B
What went wrong and was the fault in me.


    E                B
And I can?t be with you,
        C#m  F#m
I don?t even want to,
        A                     B
I just wish your ghosts were gone,
       E            B
Cause I?m ready to love,
            F#m    A
I?ve been guarded long enough.
