Verse 1:
C majorC             FF
  Once I started down the road
G+G             C majorC
  Never studied where I'd go
A minorAm             FF
  Darkness waited on the way
G+G             C majorC
  Still I never seemed afraid

Chorus 1:
B7B7             C majorC
  I appeared and said that I was strong
            G+G           B7B7
and if I got it wrong,  I kept up the masquerade
E7E7            A2      G+G C majorC
  Now I see the truth I meant to find
FF            FF       GsusGsus  G+G  GsusGsus  G+G
 Knowing now that I was only wasting time

Verse 2:
C majorC              FF
  So I missed the warning signs
G+G              C majorC
  Took the hard road every time
A minorAm              FF
  Though I passed the easy turns
G+G               C majorC
  I don't regret the lessons learned

Chorus 2:
B7B7              C majorC
  I took away the mask and let it fall
            G+G              B7B7
and then I saw it all:  I was looking straight at you
E7E7            A2      G+G C majorC
  Now I see the truth I meant to find
FF            FF       GsusGsus  G+G
 Knowing now that I was only wasting time
