Verse 1:
C                          F
   Once I started down the road
G                          C
   Never studied where I'd go
Am                         F
   Darkness waited on the way
G                          C
   Still I never seemed afraid

Chorus 1:
B7                          C
   I appeared and said that I was strong
                       G                      B7
and if I got it wrong,   I kept up the masquerade
E7                        A2           G  C
   Now I see the truth I meant to find
F                        F             Gsus   G   Gsus   G
  Knowing now that I was only wasting time

Verse 2:
C                           F
   So I missed the warning signs
G                            C
   Took the hard road every time
Am                           F
   Though I passed the easy turns
G                              C
   I don't regret the lessons learned

Chorus 2:
B7                           C
   I took away the mask and let it fall
                       G                            B7
and then I saw it all:   I was looking straight at you
E7                        A2           G  C
   Now I see the truth I meant to find
F                        F             Gsus   G
  Knowing now that I was only wasting time
