(Verse 1)

G
  I watched the proverbial sunrise

C
  coming up over the Pacific and

Em
  you might think I'm losing my mind,

D
  but I will shy away from the specifics...


C                           D           Em
  'cause I don't want you to know where I am

         C                 D
  'cause then you'll see my heart

         Em
  in the saddest state it's ever been.


C                    D
  This is no place to try and live my life.


[Pre-Chorus]

(low)G      G            D              D/F#
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

C         Em           D
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

(low)G      G            D#2                D/F#
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

                C/B        C
  that it's the very moment that

    D
  I wish that I could take back.


[Chorus]

G                                    D  Em
  I'm sorry for the person I became.

                                                   D  G        
  I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.

                                                   D Em
  I'm ready to try and never become that way again

                                 C
  'cause who I am hates who I've been.

        D                
  Who I am hates who I've been.


(Intro)


(Verse 2)

G
  I talk to absolutely no one.

C
  Couldn't keep to myself enough.

          Em
  And the things bottled inside have finally begun

     D
  to create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.



G
  I heard the reverberating footsteps

C
  synching up to the beating of my heart,

Em                                 D
  and I was positive that unless I got myself together,


  I would watch me fall apart.



      C               D      Em
  And I can't let that happen again

         C                 D
  'cause then you'll see my heart

         Em
  in the saddest state it's ever been.

  C                  D
  This is no place to try and live my life.


[Soft Pre-Chorus]

G
  Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.

C
  See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.

Em
  Stop right there. Well I never should have said

D
  that it's the very moment that I wish that I could take back.


[Regular Pre-Chorus]


[Chorus]


[Bridge]

G/B    C                D
  Who I am hates who I've been

                                               D        Em
  and who I am will take the second chance you gave me.

        C                G 
  Who I am hates who I've been

                       D
  'cause who I've been only ever made me...


[Chorus]
