INTRO: Em - Am
Em Am
When bruised, coming down
Em Am
Then I, get turned around
Em Am
I tend to cut myself off
Em Am
>From things, I shouldn't run from
C B Em
It doesn't really matter
C
Sometimes we run for cover
B Em
I'm always on the outside
Em
Stab me in the back, wanting things that I lack
Am
Sticking to your ploy, is there something you enjoy?
Em
Publicity, and insecurity,
Am
Just wanna be me, it's my need to be free
C B Em
It doesn't really matter
C
Sometimes we run for cover
B Em
I'm always on the outside
C B Em
You never seem to wonder
C
How much you make me suffer
B Em
I speak it from the inside
G Em
Looking right at me
G Em
Won't receive my plea
G Em
Tell me what you mean
B
I'm not what's on the screen
G Em
Thinking what will be
G Em
Fighting in my sleep
G Em
That's quite enough for me
B G - Em - G - Em - G - Em
Make me wanna scream
C
Keep it to myself
C B Em
It doesn't really matter
C
Sometimes we run for cover
B Em
I'm always on the outside
C B Em
You never seem to wonder
C
How much you make me suffer
B Em
I speak it from the inside
