Intro 
F - C - Am - G 
F - C - G 

      F              C 
I was wrong to say I loved her 
      Am       G 
I was wrong to think I'm right 
    F               C 
But when I told her it was over 
   G 
My darling I had lied 
     F                 C 
I've been running from my demons 
Am             G 
Afraid to look behind 
     F                C 
I've been running from myself 
         G 
Afraid of what I'd find 

                           Fm 
But how am I supposed to love you 
                        Am 
When I don't love who I am 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 
                                Fm 
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning 
                Am 
So let go of my hand 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 

        F                 C 
And now I'm stuck in this hotel room 
   Am        G 
By cold neon light 
          F              C 
I've been waiting for an answer 
       G 
But it don't come tonight 
          F            C 
And every bottle I had stolen 
        Am               G 
It laid shattered on the floor 
       F               C      G 
What's broken can't be whole, anymore 

                           Fm 
But how am I supposed to love you 
                        Am 
When I don't love who I am 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 
                                Fm 
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning 
                Am 
So let go of my hand 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 

Fm Am  C        G 
No one can ever hurt me 
     Fm     Am   
Like I hurt myself 
    C           G 
I'm made out of stone 
 Fm     Am 
And I'm beyond help 
      C         G        F   C   G G 
Don't give your heart to me 

                           Fm 
But how am I supposed to love you 
                        Am 
When I don't love who I am 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 
                                Fm 
'Cause I'm a sinking ship that's burning 
                Am 
So let go of my hand 
                       C 
And how can I give you all of me 
                     G 
When I'm only half a man 

F - C - Am - G 
F - C - G 

            Am 
Only half a man
