C majorC A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
C majorC
I wasnt born this way
A minorAm
I been living a lie they say
E minorEm A minorAm
Somebody brought me to my knees well, I had everything
FF
C majorC
So tell me would you please, how could I possibly have needed, so much more
A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
C majorC
The thing I was craving
A minorAm
Was some kind of lady
E minorEm
So I might find a friend
A minorAm FF
C majorC A minorAm
and all the aching in my muscles as they hurt oh wont you put my hands to work to ease
my mind
G+G
And you realise in a moments grace
C majorC FF
you've been unravelling the fabric of your coat
G+G
And you pick a line down the wall and trace
A minorAm
till the end
FF C majorC
and when you walk back sorry with a fallen body like you should
E minorEm A minorAm
no i am not gonna die this way
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm A minorAm
C majorC
Maybe it was was the mould you see
A minorAm
that was knocking the wall in me
E minorEm
that I forgot just what it was that
A minorAm FF
i had needed to be for all the time id given
C majorC A minorAm
maybe i forgot what living was now for
G+G
and you realise in a moments grace
C majorC FF
you might just already be onto something good
G+G
and you pick a line on a call and trace
A minorAm
because you can
FF
and when it comes back heavy
FF C majorC
youll be more than ready like you should
E minorEm A minorAm
Cause i am not gonna die this way
A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm
C majorC
Through a crack in the road it sprung
A minorAm
a seedling warm and young
E minorEm
stretching out for the sun
A minorAm
its almost in Im giddy
FF
For this time I might be winning
FF C majorC
as the moving lights that time of year lay still
FF G+G
A minorAm
and as my body changes pace I seem to know again that Im not gonna die this way
FF C majorC
oh Ill hold my misses in a bed of kisses like I should
E minorEm A minorAm
Cause I am not gonna die this way
