E minorEm
Don't cry victim to me
   C majorC         D MajorD
Everything we are and used to be is buried and gone.
E minorEm
Now it's my turn to speak
     C majorC          D MajorD
It's my turn to expose and release what's been killing me.
E minorEm
I'll be dammed fighting you
    C majorC      D MajorD
It's impossible, impossible
E minorEm
Say goodbye with no sympathy

(clean verse)

E5E5
You'll never know what I was thinking before you came round
Take a step, take a breath
Put your guard down!
I cannot worry anymore of what you think of me
I may be crazy, but
I'm buried in your memory!

(play chorus again)

(play Intro during the next fast vocal part,
but Mark alternates playing a PH and normal note)
