Verse 1:
C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I'm running out of grace just dealing with myself
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I've fallen right in line with this whole world that's gone to hell
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
My patience all but gone, there's nothing left to take
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC (open strum)
And nothing I can do that makes a difference anyways
Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
Verse 2:
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I'm running out of breath from fighting way too much
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
And trying way too hard to just outrun who I once was
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
I'm giving up the hope 'cause here is where I break
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
So bring on all the fallout from the choices I have made
Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
Bridge:
D MajorD C majorC E minorEm
And all this time, keeping me in check
A minorAm
Just kick me when I'm down because it hurts a little less
D MajorD C majorC E minorEm
And all I know are all my mistakes
A minorAm
But once again I'll watch all that I love just slip away
Chorus:
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
You would think it would be easier the second time around
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
I take rejection like a winner, I've gotten used to falling down
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
You would think by now I'd figure out what I was doing wrong
C majorC E minorEm G+G D MajorD C majorC
And all the reasons that escape me now are reasons I'm alone
