Intro: C
 
C
Some things are better left, forgotten in the past
G F
But somehow, those memories never fade
C
As I look at these photographs
C
They years don't stop staring back
G F
They're as deep as the lines on my face
 
Dm
So I say it to myself
F
I've lost my way
G
I'm someone else
 
C
When you get too high you crash
F Dm
When you get too high you crash
C
Then suddenly I feel my feet again
C
Standing in the place where
F
I once fell over the edge
Dm
I never thought I'd walk again
 
I can't pretend
C
'Cause I ran too hard
 
I ran too fast
C F
Living in a moment never meant to last
Dm
I should've known better than that
F Dm C
Cause if you get too high you crash
 
C
I am lost in the masquerade
C
The one people loved to hate
G F
Now I'm crossing bridges that I've burned
C
I thought I knew a million ways
C
To walk the line down a crooked lane
G
Fell off the road to heaven
F
To a world of hurt
 
Dm
So I say it to myself
F
I've lost my way
G
I'm someone else
 
C
When you get too high you crash
F Dm
When you get too high you crash
C
Then suddenly I feel my feet again
C
Standing in the place where
F
I once fell over the edge
Dm
I never thought I'd walk again
 
I can't pretend
C
'Cause I ran too hard
 
I ran too fast
C F
Living in a moment never meant to last
Dm
I should've known better than that
F C
Cause if you get too high you crash
