Capo 5
Dm A
I don't wanna fall, fall away
A# F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm A
I'll keep the lights on in this place
A# F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm
I disguise and I will lie
A
And I will take my precious time
A#
As the days spent away as I stand in line
F C
And I die as I wait as I wait on my crime
Dm
And I'll try to delay what you make of my life
A
But I don't want your way, I want mine
A#
I'm dying and trying but believe me I'm fine
F C
But I'm lying, I'm so very far from fine
Dm A A#
And I can feel the pull begin
F Dm
I feel my conscience wearing thin
A A# F C
And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart
Dm A
I don't wanna fall, fall away
A# F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm A
I'll keep the lights on in this place
A# F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm
Every time I feel selfish ambition is taking my vision
A
And my crime is my sentence, repentance is taking commission
A#
It's taking a toll on my soul, I'm screaming submission and
F C
I don't know if I am dying or living
Dm
'Cause I will save face for name's sake, abuse grace
A
Take aim to obtain a new name and a newer place
A#
But my name is lame, I can't walk and I ain't the same
F C
And my name became a new destiny to the grave
Dm A A#
And I can feel the pull begin
F Dm
I feel my conscience wearing thin
A A# F C
And my skin, It will start to break up and fall apart
Dm A
I don't wanna fall, fall away
A# F C
I don't wanna fall, fall away
Dm A
I'll keep the lights on in this place
A# F C
'Cause I don't wanna fall, fall away
