Intro: A minorAm

A minorAm
So many feelings, pinned up in here
C majorC                  E MajorE  A minorAm
Left alone, I'm with the one I most fear
A minorAm
I'm sick and I'm tired of reasoning,
C majorC                   E MajorE  A minorAm
Just want to break out, kick off this skin

A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't   escape myself

A minorAm
All my problems look larger than life,
C majorC            E MajorE   A minorAm
I can't swallow another slice
A minorAm
Seems like my shadow marks every stride
C majorC                   E MajorE   A minorAm
Can't learn to live with what's stuck inside

A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't   escape myself

A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't   escape myself

A minorAm
So many feelings cooped up in here
C majorC                    E MajorE  A minorAm
Left here alone, I'm with the one I most fear
A minorAm
I'm sick and I'm tired of reasoning,
C majorC                   E MajorE  A minorAm
Can I learn to live with? Pick up this skin?

A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE A minorAm 2x

A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't   escape myself
A minorAm C majorC FF D MajorD E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't   escape myself

 C majorC   FF    D MajorD
I can't escape myself,
            E MajorE         A minorAm
I can't, I can't, no I can't escape myself
      C majorC      FF       D MajorD
I can't, I can't, no I can't escape myself
      E MajorE          A minorAm
I can't, I can't escape myself


*Between E MajorE and A minorAm I play open strings (one up and one downstroke)as a quick transition.
Also, in the intro, before I play A minorAm chord, I play open strings in an quick upstroke.
