    Dm - Am - Dm - C (2x)

 

       D           Bb                          C                              A

It's easier to run replacing this pain with something numb !

                      D          Bb                             C                   A       - Dm - Am

It's so much easier to go than face all this pain here all alone !

 

     Dm                                              Am

1. Something has been taken from deep inside of me,

          Dm                                               C

    the secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see.

      Dm                                                        Am

    Wounds so deep, they never show they never go away,

            Dm                                             C

    like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played.

 

                     Dm

    (If I could change, I would take back the pain I would)

                 Am

    (retrace every wrong move that I made I would)

                    Dm

    (if I could stand up and take the blame I would)

                    C

    (if I could take all the shame to the grave I would)

 

+ repeat the last four lines

      Dm                                     Am

2. Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past,

      Dm                                             C

    bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have.

            Dm                                           Am

    Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back,

           Dm                                                 C

    and never moving forward so there'd never be a past.

 

                     Dm

    (If I could change I would take back the pain I would)

                 Am

    (retrace every wrong move that I made I would)

                     Dm

    (if I could stand up and take the blame I would)

                    C

    (if I could take all the shame to the grave I would)

 

+ repeat the last four lines

 

             Bb               C                    Bb                    C

    Just washing it aside, all of the helplessness inside,

                     Bb                      C                            Bb                    A

    pretending I don't feel misplaced, it's so much simpler than change.

 

       D           Bb                          C                              A

     It's easier to run !

    (If I could change, I would take back the pain, I would)

                  A

    (retrace every wrong move that I made.)

          D            Bb                         

    It's easier to go !

                        C

    (If I could change, I would take back the pain, I would)

                    A

    (retrace every wrong move that I made, I would.)

 

    (If I could stand up and take the blame, I would)

                                                                      - Dm

    (I would take all my shame to the grave.)
