Intro: C#m A E B (2x)
C#m A E
I?ve never been the kind to hold back,
B C#m A E B
Though I?ve never felt the burden before,
C#m A E
And all these years I begged for vengeance,
B C#m A E B
Was only left with wanting more,
A E
But I can?t be whole,
B
'til I let all this anger go,
A E B
The silent strain I?ve carried long enough.
E B
And I can?t be with you,
C#m F#m
I don?t even want to,
A B
I just wish your ghosts were gone,
E B
Cause I?m ready to love,
F#m A
I?ve been guarded long enough.
C#m A E B (2x)
E C#m B
It?s taken a lot to forgive you,
E F#m E B
Oh it?s taken me so long,
E C#m B
I tried in vain to forget you,
F#m E B
Oh I tried everything,
A E
But I won?t be free,
B
'til I?ve made peace with never knowing,
A E B
What went wrong and was the fault in me.
E B
And I can?t be with you,
C#m F#m
I don?t even want to,
A B
I just wish your ghosts were gone,

Cause I?m ready to love,

I?ve been guarded long enough.
C#m A E B (2x)
C#m A E B
I?ve been guarded long enough,

I?ve been guarded long enough to know,
C#m A E B
I?m ready, I?m ready,
C#m A E B
I?m ready, I?m ready,
C#m A E B
I?m ready, I?m ready,
C#m A E B E
I?m ready, I?m ready now.
