G C G

C             D       G       C G
I'm sorry I'm not the one
C
I'm not your savior
    D                 G         C G
Not strong enough to lean on.
C                             D          Em      G
And yes I'm shamed of turning my back and run.
C                          D
But I'm not your fatheror long lost son,
            G       C G
I'm not the one
C                   D
and I'm not a good lover,
            G
I'm just a fool.
   C
Or when you're drowning,
 D                     G
I'm not the lifline to pull at sea.
C                          D               Em
Hell I'm not free enough myself to set you free.
C

I'm not your savior.
D       G
I'm not free.
G
You had the time to flee
    Em               C
To places where I'll never be
     C      Am     G        D      G D
But somehow you believed in me.
G                             C         Am
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms,
C            D    G
Stretched out and look me in the eyes
   C                  Am      D  C
Oh brother, when you shoot me down,
  A
I ate the cake, I burned the flag
  C
I burned it all but what the heck
    A7                        A
I'm only temporary, just like you.
          A               G       C Em C G
Just like you, just like you.
G                            C
Wipe that smile off of your face,
                                    D                  G
Cause I can't change your dreams or get the dreams you chase
    G                 C    D       C
And I can't bear your wild golden cross.
       Em                      G                      C
Cause after all you're just a shade on the wall, like all of us.
       Em            D                 G      D
Another shade on the wall, like all of us.
G                             C         Am
Standing here helpless at the end of my arms,
C           D      G
Stretched out and look me in the eyes
C                          D  C
brother, when you shoot me down,
   A
I ate the cake, I burned the flag
  C
I burned it all but what the heck
     A7                       A
I'm only temporary, just like you.
          A               C       G
Just like you, just like you.
