Intro: D G Bm A
 
D
I’ve tried to be fair
G
And pretend like I care
Bm A
But no asset is worth all the time
Spent listening and laughing
To dramas that mean nothing
Can’t find any depth to these minds
 
Bm E Bm E
Purity lost in vain
Bm E Bm E
And you think I should be the same?
 
Bm
Don’t assume I will follow
E
And drop all my morals
Bm E
So you can look good for the crowd
You don’t care about my thoughts
Just the light that I brought
I’m tired of helping you out
 
D
They chose to be blind
G
When lonely and shy
Bm A
I searched for acceptance at first
Said the traits didn't match
Now you take it all back
When it adds something more to your worth
 
Bm E Bm E
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same?
 
Bm
Don’t assume I will follow
E
And drop all my morals
Bm E
So you can look good for the crowd
You don’t care about my thoughts
Just the light that I brought
I’m tired of helping you out
 
F#m E Bm
All this time you chose never to care
F#m
But now you won’t leave me alone
E
Like we’ve always been close
Bm E
I’m telling you nothing has changed
 
Bm E Bm E
Purity lost in vain
And you think I should be the same?
 
Bm
Don’t assume I will follow
E
And drop all my morals
Bm E
So you can look good for the crowd
You don’t care about my thoughts
Just the light that I brought
I’m tired of helping you out
 
Bm E Bm E
You think I should be the same
