                  C    G 
I don't wanna be bitter 
                     C 
I dont wanna be the girl with 
                 D 
the upside down smile 

                         C    G 
It's cold enough in the winter 
                      C          G 
walking through this pain feels like 
     A      G    D 
a thousand long miles 

                  Em7 
I'm stuck in the middle 
         Am7 
of just around the bend 
    C 
but I keeping breaking down 
           D 
before I reach the end 


            G 
'Cause it hurts too much 
       D 
and I just can't rise above 
          C 
all the things you said you'd do 
         D 
but you never follow through 
           Em 
and I've wrestled with the demons 
           C 
who keep trying to bring me down 
          D 
and I've swung my fists 
                              C 
'cause i just wanna get this over with 
            C  G  D

Verse: 2 
              C    G 
It's like a poison 
       C 
and I can't get it 
Am     C    D 
out of my veins 

             C        G 
a deafening noise that 
        C       G 
keeps pounding down 
       Am    G   D 
like buckets of rain 

                 Em 
well there's so many things 
                     Am 
I know I should be thankful for 
           C 
so why is it so hard to pick myself 
    D 
up off the floor? 

 
            G 
'Cause it hurts too much 
       D 
and I just can't rise above 
          C 
all the things you said you'd do 
         D 
but you never follow through 
           Em 
and I've wrestled with the demons 
           C 
who keep trying to bring me down 
          D 
and I've swung my fists 
                              C 
'cause i just wanna get this over with 
            C  G  D
