Em
I'm gonna start again
Am B7
This world I painted black
Em
Just needs some colour
Am B7 C
I'm gonna live my life like the other
B7 Em
Person I should have been
I ain't tapping out, no no no no
Am B7
To this dark and twisted dream
Em
That's kept me living
Am
I pray to my soul
B7 C
To keep it's fire burning
C#dim
And when it does
B7 Em
I'm gonna let it shine
Am Em
I'll make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Got no time for no regrets
Am G
Gonna show you just what I can be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
And it might take time, take time
Am B7 Em
Coz this life has taken it right out of me
Am B7 G
I wanna change my perspective of reality
A G C
Be a much better version of me
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am Em
I make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Put my sincerity to the test
Am G
Wake up my senses finally
B7 Em
The water washes me clean
Am Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
B7
If I don't get a grip
Em
Then the world has won
Am G
Making me think that I'll never be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am
Who am I now?
B7 Em
A lonely man that's fallen down
Am
No I can't change
B7 Em
The past that time has all burned out
C C#dim A7
But I know somewhere inside of me
Am B7 Em
Is the person I could have been
Am Em
Make the best of this life I've got left
B7 Em
Got no time for no regrets
Am G
Gonna show you just what I can be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am Em
What shouldn't have been has all been done
B7
If I don't get a grip
Em
Then the world has won
Am G
Making me think that I'll never be
B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am Em B7 Em
I said the person, person I should have been
Am Em B7 Em
The person, person I should have been
Am Em B7 Em
The person I should have been
Am Em B7 Em
I said the person, person I should have been
