Verse 
G                           D 
I don't have a leg to stand on 
 Bm                                       F#m 
Spinning like a whirlwind nothing to land on 
G                                       D 
Came so far never thought it'd be done now 
Bm                                     F#m 
Stuck in a holding pattern waiting to come down 
     G 
Did somebody else define me? 
    D 
Can I put the past behind me? 
Bm 
  Do I even have a decision 
        F#m 
Feeling like I'm living in a story already written 
     G 
Am I part of a vision made by somebody else? 
           D 
Pointing fingers at villains but I'm the villain myself 
        Bm 
Or am I out of conviction with no wind in the sail? 
     F#m                                     G 
Too focused on the end and simply ready to fail 

 
G           D                       G               Bm 
'Cause I'm tired of the fear that I can't control this 
                                G 
I'm tired of feeling like every next step's hopeless 
     D                                              Bm 
I'm tired of being scared what I build might break apart 
         G                           F#m               G 
I don't want to know the end, all I want is a place to start 
    D      Bm 
Oh, oh, oh oo 
         F#m                         G                  D 
I don't want to know the end, all I want is a place to start 
    Bm F#m 
Oh, oh
