Verse 1: 

     G           Am 
Take out pen and paper, 
      F 
Write down another verse, 
    G               Am 
Anything to take me away, 
            F 
Trapped in a spell, no words to say 


Verse 2: 

     G            Am 
Do I wait for inspiration' 
               F 
You know I've tried to fight off desperation. 
     G                               Am                  F    G 
The writing on the wall said there's still salvation for me. 




           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
        Dm                                Am       G 
I'll be alright, doing just fine, it's no need to dwell. 
           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
               Dm                                 Am      G    
    F 
I'm out of the storm, my heart is worn, I made it through hell. 



Verse 3: 

      G           Am              F 
Under these old illusions, it's a habit that I know too well, 
        G                    Am                  F 
I think about you every now and then, but I know I'm better off now, 
          G         Am            F 
And in my darkest desire I light up the fire, 
       G      Am         F        G 
Let it burn, just let me burn. 




           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
        Dm                                Am       G 
I'll be alright, doing just fine, it's no need to dwell. 
           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
               Dm                                 Am      G 
I'm out of the storm, my heart is worn, I made it through hell. 



Bridge: 

Dm                    Am                 G 
     Well I once said that I've seen the sun rise on better days, 
Dm                Am          G 
     There's no reason to be afraid, 
Dm            Am               G                 Am 
     If it's all the same to you I'll be getting on my way, 
F                C  G    F               G 
     Now there's nothing left to say. 




           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
        Dm                                Am       G 
I'll be alright, doing just fine, it's no need to dwell. 
           C         G       Am 
So tell me why, do I worry myself' 
               Dm                               Am         G 
I'm out of the storm, my heart is worn, there's no need to dwell. 
        Dm          Am      F 
So tell me why do I worry myself'
