Intro G, A, E, C
(verse 1)
G
You're everything I wanna be,
A
But that's not true at all,
E
I've held you high,
C
I built a lie,
G
You're nothing like you used to be,
A
And that's not right at all,
E
You've given in,
C
You've let them win,
C D
And I'm sorry that these words are coming out of my mouth,
C D
But I don't want to be like you,
C D C D (Stop)
I'm sorry that I'm just now figuring out,
D E C
Someone else can save the world,
G D
I won't sell my soul for this,
C
I wasn't meant to make them happy,
D
I wasn't meant to make them money,
D E C
Someone else can let it all go,
G D
Trade themselves for one more show,
C D
But I wasn't meant to throw myself away,
D E C
For one meager shot at fame.
D
(verse 2)
G
I thought you could think for yourself,
A
And fight for what you loved,
E
They're using you,

And I don't think I want to take,

The same road that you're on,
A B E C
It can't be worth, the way you hurt,

Do you even remember why you wanted to get this far in the first place?
