Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

D with intermittent Dsus (hammer your pinky in the 3rd fret on the high e string)

lately i've been thinking not about what you said

 but what you did if you're behind it you decide i'll survive

i've been spending time looking out

 instead of in gotta keep reminding myself begin means end

 and i'm walking through the alleys in the morning

 and i'm trying to do some thinking i've gotta know this time for sure

 tell me wh-y i'm feeling pressured

G A D (like intro w/ Dsus)

tell me wh-y you feel alright but still i don't

i caught myself believing every word that was said

 and that's fine i'll learn to depend on myself in time

 'cause i made some decisions that just barely

 left me with an opinion or identity of my own

 tell me wh-y i feel below you

G A D (like intro w/ Dsus)

tell me wh-y you feel alright but still i' don't

would you feel like a stranger if i turned and walked away?

would you care if i stayed?

the many times i've been through this have i learned from mistakes i've made?

i may try and if i fall i'll pick myself up again

lately i've been thinking not about what you said

 but what you did if you're behind it you decide i'll survive

i've been spending time looking out

 instead of in gotta keep reminding myself begin means end

 i don't want your lines and i don't want your sympathy

 'cause i'm trying to break old habits and i want to do that on my own

 tell me wh-y i'm feeling pressured

  (like intro with Dsus)

tell me wh-y you feel alright but still i don't

(let that D ring out and pat yourself on the back, you just learned a great fucking song!)
