Intro: Am, F#m, Ebm
*(It would sound more like the track if you only strum the chord on the first beat it is
played in the measure and then just play the bass note of the chord for the following
beats in measure)
Verse: Em, Em9
No one has said what the truth should be
And no one decided that I'd feel this way
If you felt as I
Would you betray yourself
Chorus: Am, F#m, Ebm
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
Verse: Em, Em9
No one should fear what they cannot see
And no ones to blame it's just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes
And how I despise myself
Chorus: Am, F#m, Ebm
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
Break:(Kind of plays with the notes A#, F#, D, A#, G# notes listed descend chromatically)
Verse: Em, Em9
And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken
You'll never know
Your feathered sacred self
Chorus: Am, F#m, Ebm
But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me
Chorus: Am, F#m, Ebm
And you can't deny how I feel
And why should you decide for me
