When you look back and find me mourning

A body I left in that twin-sized bed
I'll be preaching

I'm not anyone

Do I have to make a choice?

Once again?
[Verso 2]
C
And I know that I will lose again

I fight this battle in my head
C
And time could tell me how to begin
G
And I would win, I would win
part ii, strummed
C
And I would win, I would win
Em
And I would win, I would win
C
I would win, and I would win
Em
I would win, I could win
C
But I am not a girl
Em
And I am not your angel
C
I am not what you need
I am not what you pray for

I am not what you'd pray for
And I am not what you'd stay for

I am not your angel

And I am not your savior
